I wanted to share with you all an article by one of my favorite authors, the great Rick Reilly (for those who don't know Reilly, formerly of Sports Illustrated, now works for ESPN and writes a column usually having little to do with sports that is at the same time related to sports in some way). In this article he discusses a new rule in Virginia, a University founded by the great Thomas Jefferson, which prohibits students from expressing themselves at sports games using signs. Although I know Reilly is no scholar I think this article, especially in light of the recent arrests of reporters at each of the conventions, hits on a very sensitive and important topic.

Of course the full Jefferson quote he references is: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
