It's just as protected by the first amendment as political speech is.

The stadium has its own code of conduct that bans all sorts of things that are legal otherwise. For example, if you go around yelling racial slurs inside the arena, which are protected by the first amendment, you'll be escorted out and potentially banned. They have latitude in making certain rules to prevent disruption.


Aka Trump supporters can't resist reacting violently when they find out not everyone worships their conman's ass. At least you're now admitting that his fanboy's can't handle criticism.

And I can't wait till the students say "FUCK THAT" and boo his ass even harder. All Bama is doing by making this claim beforehand is increasing the likelihood of people shitting on him as much as possible.

Trump coulda got a private box seat and nobody woulda even known he was there but of course it has gotta be some spectacle.

Except it was announced he was attending and the Secret Service inspecting bags and posting snipers would give it away. Presidents don't attend public events anonymously.

Then he should just slam and bust a vase onto the floor of the White House and be like "fine then, somebody else can be President" and walk off the job.

Really though... what happens if a President goes AWOL ?

I dunno, facing consequences for your disruptive behavior has never been an outright First Amendment issue. If you want to talk about "the spirit of the First Amendment" then maybe you should've shown more empathy for the millions and millions of people over the last decade who were saying the same thing, I'd say.

Sorry to the snowflake, you're getting booed, lmao
I'm super active on Reddit College Ball, and Crimson Tide fans have already said they'll boo the shit out of him regardless. A lot of them are alums and don't even sit in student seating anymore anyway, and getting repeat tickets to Crimson Tide games is difficult. Not like it's a lifetime ban. Dude's gonna get some boos, it's just he'll get some actual cheers here too.

Mainly because getting tickets to a Crimson Tide game is like getting tickets to a Toronto Maple Leafs game.

The wait list for the non student section is hella long.

I've always shown empathy for legitimate first amendment violations. It'll also be interesting to see how "disruptive" is defined, because part of the point of a sports stadium crowd is to be disruptive to the away team with noise.

What I'm not sympathetic to is people getting banned from social media platforms for violating the terms of service policy then claiming their 1st amendment rights were somehow violated.

Being kicked out of a football stadium objectively isn't any more of a violation of the Constitution on a legal level than being banned from platforms is, I'm not sure why you would think otherwise. One obviously has much larger impact on things like the culture and our elections, though.

The university released a statement basically saying that they werent referring to booing or protests in their original release, rather violent altercations or inappropriate/unsportsmanlike behavior that would reflect poorly on the school.
