An estimated 20 players from the Ole Miss football team reportedly disrupted the university theater department's performance of "The Laramie Project." The play covers the aftermath of the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, an openly gay male student from Laramie County, Wyoming.

This article makes no mention of the fact that a [once] respected gay journalist, Stephen Jimenez, has just released a book that debunks most of the central narrative of the Matthew Shepard murder.
Jimenez essentially states the murder was not a hate crime, that it was drug related, and that at least one of the perps had a previous sexual relationship with Shepard.
The play "The Laramie Project" is part of Freshman orientation for dozens of American universities.
Also, the Ole Miss freshman football recruits are about 80% Black.
I notice the article makes NO mention of race.
I also noticed how temperate and "sad" the critical language of the administrators and teachers and gay students has been.
Believe this - if any red neck white boys had done this, they would be instantly kicked off the team!
Protected minority versus protected minority: let the hand-wringing commence.
Since it has been PROVEN that former Meth dealer Shepard was NOT murdered for being homosexual but rather by his lover/fellow drug dealer to steal his Meth stash, who cares if they made “gay slurs”?
BOYCOTT FOX SPORTS!
Gays? Ole Miss? Shep smith?
Screw ‘em. (Your choice.)
I love it when a protected group’s interests conflict with those of another.
I’ll get some popcorn.
I really have been out of the loop, this is the first I have heard of this..
Newscorp executives endorsed John Kerry in 2004. Fox is hardly conservative.
You see, if I was in the heavily Republican state legislature, I’d motion to pull all funding from the college until they stopped forcing people to view homo propaganda.
Another fact they hide mid-article:
“Ole Miss football players were required to attend the “Laramie Project” as a part of a required freshman-level theater course.”
Got that people? They were forced to attend this pro-gay propaganda piece. No wonder they were unruly.
If you want a polite, well-behaved audience, then just perform for people who WANT to see the show.
“Fox is hardly conservative.”
Yes, but “hardly conservative”, in today’s American media, is at the “extreme, far right-wing” of the spectrum.
How could the parents of these poor children send their kids to a college that requires that the young impressionable students see a play or read books that violate their family values?
Worse of all, the players cannot even express their views on the play.
The MSM has given it the usual one-two head and body slam.
First, they completely ignored it.
Then, as soon as enraged critics began writing enraged attacks on the author, the MSM publishes NOTHING but criticism.
If they don’t have the discipline to sit down and shut up during a class, how are they going to deal with a tough coach?
The play is based on a lie...a homo-lover propaganda piece. If I or my parents were paying for my education there, i’d give them my 2 cents worth.
They apparently were not required to attend this play. They were part of a theater class, and were required to attend a certain number of plays during the course of the semester. They chose this one.
Worse of all, the players cannot even express their views on the play.
Heckling a play, even one you disagree with, is no way to act in public. These players (and their parents, for that matter) ought to be ashamed of themselves.
And, just to clarify, I don’t care WHAT these players were yelling - “epithet” or not.
That’s a great idea.
In all state legislatures, there should be legislation that prohibits public colleges from forcing Christian students from being subjected to matters such as homosexuality, abortion, evolution and other Biblical principles that violate their Christian beliefs.
