 University of Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh announced on Twitter
 Wednesday night that his team will hold a screening of American Sniper
 after the school pulled a showing when some students called it anti-Muslim.
 
Shortly after coach Harbaughs tweet, the University of Michigan reversed
 course and said their decision to cancel the screening was wrong. See the rest of story here....

    I never was a Michigan fan but the Coach has garnered respect from me. I wonder if he’s a Democrat or Republican?

    There’s so much wrong with this it’s tough to know where to start. At least the football coach had the influence to shame them into doing the right thing. He shouldn’t have that much influence, but he shouldn’t need it for something like this anyway. Ugh. All’s well that ends well, I guess.

    Go going Coach! There is no other way that these communists liberal college administrators will get the message.

    It’s always about the money. Michigan football likely keeps the doors open at the school.

    You know if this happened at Ohio State when Woody was there, whoever proposed canceling showing American Sniper would have wound up with Woody’s fist against their jaw.
