No. A comment. You're consistent in being wrong.Nice dodge.

A lot of babble. I will try to be more concise. You have free speech in public places, not everywhere necessarily. The government can't quell your speech (except in specific circumstances) but private entities can. There's nothing transitive/intransitive about that - it's the law of the land regardless of your beliefs.
Republicans were champions of freedoms and equal rights more than 50 years ago as were independents and many democrats. That changed in the 60s when Democrats, led by Kennedy and Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act and The Voting Act - racist democrats had nowhere to turn. They tried Wallace but then were courted by Nixon and have been foundational to the republicans ever since. They're your problem now.
The UofI, as a government entity, has no right to quell free speech. Thankfully, it doesn't appear they want to anyway. Employees are the only direct representatives on the University. The students aren't, the players aren't, I am not as a proud alum. Still, those employees have rights to political speech similar to other government employees. i.e. Donald Trump is a government employee.
Your comments about kneeling and what it represents is nonsense.
WTF? You're arguing, you're not forced to be silent. You're simply meeting resistance to your backward thinking. It's called discourse. If you can't handle it then maybe you should shut up for your own sake. JFC.
It's Iowa bruh. Always about 2-3 years behind on the trends.
Sit, stand, do jumping jacks ... won't impact my day ... Life continues on ...
It’s funny how the people that claim they “could(n’t) care less” are obviously the most passionate about it.

Americans love their right to speak their mind. The First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech is one of the parts of the Bill of Rights we are most likely to cite.But you don’t have freedom of speech everywhere. One place that often surprises many people where it doesn’t generally apply: Your workplace. Despite what many employees think, your rights to freedom of speech are fairly limited at work, and it’s often perfectly legal for an employer to take action against a worker for something they said or wrote.
Your Free Speech Rights (Mostly) Don't Apply At Work
Americans love our right to freedom of speech. But it doesn't apply as strongly in the workplace, with these few exceptions.

Lets classify the college kids as employees....see where that goes...lol
They are. Their services are rewarded with a free education, housing, meals, and training. They in return are obligated to preform and represent their employer (Iowa) with their efforts and control of character. That is why teams have team rules.
From Daily News - "There is no question that student athletes agree to increased regulation of their lives in exchange for the ability to represent their university on an athletic team. "
didn't peg you for the type to argue in favor of allowing athletes to be paid cash salaries. Because I am sure you are aware that is the goal of the lobbying to change their status to employees instead of the current student-athlete notion.
It's kind of hard to play offense when you're out there getting pepper sprayed the night before or getting a DWI
Everything is related, OiT, relatively speaking.
