People are ok with protests if they agree with them. If they don't, it makes them mad.
BUT....this protest wasn't over anything legitimate that can have anything really done about. There are only a sliver of a minority of people who are for racism, so it is not something to protest over. There were absolutely ZERO policies or specific practices in the protest.
Planned Parenthood for example. That is a legitimate argument. People have disagreements, but there are specific policies (abortion/funding) that are being discussed. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

However you can not take people's rights just because they are on scholarship. You see the difference?
Rights don't mean you are free from consequence. No one is throwing them in jail for protesting, which is all rights entitle you to. Teams and Universities have their own expectations, BEYOND the law.
Calling the coach a retarded monkey to his face is within your rights as well...but it doesn't shield you from the consequences of saying it.

IMO you would destroy football at Mizzou if you did that.
Not when you point out the sham the protest was. Explaining the situation would go a long ways to putting out any fire.

I'm interested in your opinion, what is one specific example of the harm they caused?
Obviously the resignation of a man who had ZERO instances of racism in his history. They weren't criticizing his job performance, the called him racist. That is just one though.

They were protesting over their perceived lack of action regarding the acts, not the acts themselves. You may not agree with their actions and their method of delivery was not done well, but they have the right.
Seriously?
Wolfe took accountability and resigned on his own.

This isn't true. Once the scope of rights were widened through incorporation the trial of US v. Cruikshank ruled that the government had a duty to protect one's ability to perform all clauses of the amendment (I.e. Protection, space, etc.)
