University of Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh announced on Twitter
Wednesday night that his team will hold a screening of “American Sniper”
after the school pulled a showing when some students called it “anti-Muslim.”

Shortly after coach Harbaugh’s tweet, the University of Michigan reversed
course and said their decision to cancel the screening was wrong. See the rest of story here....

I will now pull for Big Blue against all other Big 10 teams...even those that count for more than 10.

Funny. The U of M is where our niece learned to hate the U.S. military and all the “Jesus complex” men who join. She married a former Army guy, but I have no idea what her views are now. We haven’t spoken to her in quite a few years due to her radical feminazi and anti American views she spouted while staying with us. I guess that is what happens when you major in Women’s Studies and have no moral foundation.

In this instance it is a good thing.....You prefer the simpering capitulation folks who carry the name president of the university or dean of students?

another example of male dominated sports that promotes violence and assaults on womyn. It must be all those concussions! (sarc)

The soccer team would never do anything like this.

He's an ass, but he's right here.

He'll also lose to Coach Dantonio like all other UM coaches.

“This story” only highlights the weasel-ness of the University decision makers.

Now THEY know these guys in suits can be cowered for no apparent reason.

Isn’t sad that it had to come to that? Nevertheless thank you coach for showing the leadership you did.

"I never was a Michigan fan but the Coach has garnered respect from me."

Same here from an Ohio State alum. Of course having said that, TOSU might take away my football fan card for saying something positive about a M*chigan Man.

This must have sent a bunch of lefty wimps straight to the safe rooms! Sirens (only heard by dogs and liberals) must have blared across campus.
