AURaptor 1,125 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 A player's # or a persons initials should suffice. I wonder if a Star of David or Islamic crescent moon would be greeted with the same enthusiasm as the cross. If the ones being honored were of that faith then that would be fine to honor them in that way. I have absolutely no problem with that. Now flip it. Would there be as much an outcry from the critics were it NOT a cross ? Just askin'. I doubt it. The left has gone out of its way to appease Muslims. Yeah, i get the impression that were it any other religious symbol, Ark State would be applauded for its " diversity " :vomit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japantiger 4,051 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Common sense and reasonableness prevails: ASU: Players may voluntarily wear crosses on helmets Posted: Sep 17, 2014 7:12 PM CST Updated: Sep 18, 2014 8:04 AM CST Posted by Region 8 Newsdesk - bio | email JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - Arkansas State University has responded to the Liberty Institute after a football player said the school violated his free speech after the team altered a cross decal on the back of his helmet. The player said he feels the university censored the helmet sticker, which was shaped like a cross to honor two team members who recently passed away. The Liberty Institute said that ASU had until Wednesday to reinstate the stickers and publicly acknowledge that players have the right to express themselves or face more legal action. In a letter to the Liberty Institute from ASU System President Charles Welch, it is pointed out that the head coach, not the players designed the memorial for Markel Owens and Barry Weyer. Members of the coaching staff and 15 players, known as the head coach's "Leadership Council" approved the decals and decided to place them on the helmets of all players. The letter said that the decals were paid for by public funds from the team's equipment fund. Also contrary to the Liberty Institute's letter, the students themselves did not affix the stickers to the helmets. ASU's response stated that "all the remaining officially-designed and publicly-funded decals were affixed to the helmets by the team's equipment managers." The University's response said "The foregoing facts are in stark contrast to the misinformation contained in your letter stating that the 'students designed the helmet sticker,' that '[e]ach teammate affixed the sticker to his helmet,' and that the 'stickers were designed by the students on their own.'" The letter also said that all of this was done without the advice of counsel. The University argued that "Accordingly, when the school modified the stickers to avoid Establishment Clause concerns, no student speech was infringed." ASU concluded by saying that any player who wishes to voluntarily place an NCAA-compliant sticker on their helmet to memorialize their fallen colleagues will be able to do so. The letter said "The display of these stickers will be totally voluntary and completely independent of university involvement. The university will not procure the stickers, purchase them, or affix them to the helmets." According to NCAA guidelines, persons or events may be memorialized by an insignia not greater than 1.5 inches in diameter on the uniform or helmet. http://www.kait8.com...berty-institute Good, because God forbid anybody spread a message of hope, joy, peace, love, acceptance, Grace, forgiveness, goodwill, and provision. Can't have that happen.... Must spread, pornography, sex, abortion, murder, strife, suicide, drugs, alcohol, the breakdown of family,and such, because that stuff makes our society sooooooooo much better. O_o Sorry Weegs, get with the program...that is called gentlemen's alternative media, reproductive rights, the Great Society, etc. How can we take you seriously if you still those outdated terms.

cooltigger21 0 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Libs=destroying America proudly every day... Conservative = beat Libs too it. spoken like a true moderate. Lukewarm people who have no core beliefs. I'd rather deal with a full out liberal than a moderate. At least you know where they stand on something. Moderates are all over the map depending on which way the wind blows that particular day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderates are all over the map depending on which way the wind blows that particular day. Or...some moderates have a different set of core beliefs than the two opposing sides in modern politics would lead you to believe. As such they aren't beholden to this or that tribe or party's approved stance on a set of issues. They look issue by issue and decide what they feel is the best approach, the right view, the most practical way of handling it for that particular matter. And they do so without feeling that if it sides with one of the two major parties in power that they are somehow obligated to line up lock-step with them on all other matters. In times past it was simply called "thinking for one's self." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
