Guys, I'm afraid I'm going to have to tell you something shocking...
The Never To Yield Foundation fricking *nailed* it.

No matter what you believe happened, this was a minor incident. Even if the players did use profanity as they walked away, it remains a minor incident. In the pre-social media days this entire incident would have been handled by the alleged victim contacting the school, by the administration having the players apologize, and by tacking on a little discipline and maybe a talk on how to behave around people with service animals. That would have been the end of it.
It would not have become a platform for people to shout to the rafters and seek the support of country music artists to rally to a cause that — let’s be honest — really doesn’t exist.
The players tried to pet a dog. The owner didn’t like it. They exchanged words. There was no need to push the nuclear option button on Twitter.
That’s what this society has become. We are instant reactionaries, intent on seeking public retribution for the smallest of offenses. People can’t disagree. People can’t have words with each other without someone making it into a national incident. The molehills of simple grievances are made into mountains. Outrage for the sake of outrage is the norm. It’s not a good thing.

Their arguments are solid
Their melodramatic writing style
At the end of the day it is a game and an average regional state university, their writing style is fitting for revolution.

Back in the late 90s when I was at Auburn, there was a kid in a wheelchair with a service dog to tote all his books and he treated that dog like shite. One day I saw the kid hit the dog with some kind of lash thing and I grabbed his arm and chewed his arse about it. Half of the people watching knew I did the right thing and the other half damn near lynched me.
