For example, the NCAA.

That whole BS crapstorm.....I hate UND with all my heart, but they got screwed.
 
Re: Riots and Racists and Looting...OH MY!!!

There are no 1st Amendment rights when you're part of a private league, however. In "private" time, you can test that (like Sterling did), but on the field (like the Rams did) that does not apply. The Rams would (or should) have no case, no matter what one thinks.

Well, "perceived" first amendment within a private group. I should have clarified, especially since I was arguing for exactly what you're pointing out right now during all the Donald Sterling stuff when people were saying "America's over! The constitution means nothing!!! Rabble Rabble Rabble..."

The quote sounds like something out of The Onion. I thought Deadspin got duped when I first read it.



Literally all of that reads like a comment from a Yahoo News article.

Right. Police officers are going to boycott the NFL and their advertisers.

Agreed. The first two Amendments are so often misinterpreted it's laughable. And sad. Make that depressing.

Chris Rock, unlikely voice of reason.

If you saw Tina Turner and Ike having a lovely breakfast over there, would you say their relationship’s improved? Some people would. But a smart person would go, “Oh, he stopped punching her in the face.” It’s not up to her.
 
Re: Riots and Racists and Looting...OH MY!!!

As far as the Rams are concerned, I'm reminded of the newspaperman in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence who tells Jimmy Stewart "when the legend become fact, print the legend." They don't care whether anybody actually put his hands up. They're "printing the legend."
