										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomi Lahren is a conservative TV host who has been trolling for attention lately.  She&#8217;s found her niche as the voice for all of the bigoted twitter users out there who hide behind fake profiles and screen names.</p>
<p>Her latest target is Niners QB Colin Kaepernick who is silently protesting police brutality by sitting during the Nation Anthem.  Remember Colin is not harming, disrespecting, or ridiculing anyone.  He is literally SITTING IN COMPLETE SILENCE and has people this mad.</p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qq0_nyWVXCI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Again, I have to ask the question:<br />
</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">If you don&#39;t want people to riot, block streets, etc. but don&#39;t want them sitting down in silence either, how do they peacefully protest?</p>
<p>&mdash; Mockdrafthq.com (@MockDraftHQ) <a href="https://twitter.com/MockDraftHQ/status/771213300201775106">September 1, 2016</a></p></blockquote>
<p> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>This is bigger than sports.  This is now becoming about the white washing of public perception and the &#8220;threat&#8221; that anyone outside that bubble apparently presents.  If we allow Kaepernick, Isiah Crowell and others to be continually bullied by conservative publications, unions, and other organizations <em>what does it really say about American freedoms?</em></p>
<p>Quite frankly it says that if your thoughts and actions are not approved by conservative White America then you are not free to express yourself.  And that&#8230;. <strong>that is simply Un-American.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Who <em>really</em> hates the freedoms of this country?</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Republican Rick Brattin is working on a new bill in response to the University of Missouri protests.  For those who remember, the protests saw student athletes threaten to sit out if the school President did not step down in response <em>to his lack of response</em> to rising racial tensions on campus.  On multiple documented occasions were black students targeted and victims of hate crimes and slurs.  There was even <a href="http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-university-missouri-racism-20151112-story.html">a thwarted campus shooting</a> in response to the protests as well.</p>
<p>Lawmakers do not care though, in their world players should do as they are told and just shut up.</p>
<p>Remember when the NCAA testified in court and said that athletes are not employees and that playing collegiate sports was simply a privilege and hobby? Well apparently that arrangement is only good enough when these &#8220;student athletes&#8221; are weight lifting ball playing robots and not real human beings with social consciousness:</p>
<blockquote><p>As a response to the protest/boycott against former university president Wolfe orchestrated by the black University of Missouri football players, Republican lawmaker Rick Brattin proposed a bill that aims to strip scholarships from college athletes who refuse to play for non-health related issues.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;According to the pre-filed bill, if it is enacted, any “college athlete who calls, incites, supports, or participates in any strike or concerted refusal to play a scheduled game shall have his or her scholarship revoked”. Additionally, the bill continues, “any member of a coaching staff who encourages or enables a college athlete to engage in behavior” prohibited under the bill “shall be fined by his or her institution of employment”.</strong></p>
<p>Bill sponsor state representative Rick Brattin proposed to have legislation enacted by August 2016, prior to the start of next year’s college football season.</p>
<p>The university doesn’t receive state funds to operate athletic programs, according to the University of Missouri’s student-athlete handbook. “[T]hus, similar to private business, the Mizzou Athletics Department must operate solely from what revenue it generates,” the handbook states.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>If this bill passes through Missouri&#8217;s House of Representatives and ultimately becomes a law, college athletes will lose their scholarships if they ever go on strike.</strong></p></blockquote>
