Liberals have no core principles, as a result they become chaff blowing around in the wind.
I agree, but I’d go a second time just to ruffle the whiners.
An even bigger untouchable on campus maybe this coach vs. the other protected classes. Given what they payed him ( how many million? it is insane ) and the fact that Football @ U of M boarders on a religion, they are fanatical, and they want him to produce a winning team.
Good move by him IMHO, he knew he could get away with it...

“That 1% knows how a democracy works—the ones who show up first and screams the loudest gets their way automatically. “
Well said. Because the vast majority just shuts the F up and takes freedom and liberty like it was an everyday chore.
“So was this another 1% activist decision...one or two people driving the whole university. Time for the minorities to get in the back seat...we will listen, but they cannot drive. Im tired of being driven by the minority 1%!”
A rolled up newspaper and a swat on the nose usually cures this.
Not a fan of Mich football by any means; but Coach shows me something.
Spineless Liberal socialist marxist scum.
I wonder how the university will respond to the loud protestors who will make this movie unwatchable?
You say, “But how do you know this will happen?”
