Of course messages change based on the times, but the platforms have always been closely tied together.

So I guess with that, I encourage our student athletes to voice their opinions whatever they may be. IMO, that's more important than any game.

And as fans we can ignore it, protest, or voice our pleasure/displeasure. In the end, I'll watch for the entertainment value.

Is it not important for people to learn that there is a time and place for certain things. I would not ask athletes to refrain from making their voices heard, nor would I ask them not to protest, but its seems to me that the playing field is not the appropriate time/place. It seems that your position is there there is no inappropriate time or place. If that position is reinforced, these young men and women are going to have a hard lesson to learn when they get into the workplace, which college is allegedly preparing them for.
