This Univ. Texas dude was kicked off football team cuz he posted shit about Obama on his facebook, writing "all the hunters gather up, we have a nigger in the white house."  He apologized, but still got kicked off.  Some ppl think he should get ACLU to help him cuz its free speech.  Wat do u think?

Eh, it's not really professional. I don't know about getting kicked off, but a public apology maybe.

When you get college paid for you in order to play football, you're required to follow team rules and have to watch your actions. The team has every right to kick him off, and the ACLU would have no authority or say in the matter as an athletic scholarship contract is between the school and the teammate.

Thats in the gray area. Hes implying violence, but not enough to be considered a threat.

More like freedom of hate.

Just because it's legal to say what you want, doesn't make it right to say things like that.

Exactly. What a douche. It's basically a threat...implying that all of the hunters get together and kill him because he's half black. That's so fucked up. This guy is an ignorant douche who deserves to get kicked off the team just for being a moron.

Ugh. Fucking rednecks.
