His father's words may be a little too strong, but they're not entirely off-base either. Yes, they are off base. He deserves leeway due to the untold grief he is enduring, but a statement like that is ridiculous. Thousands of people a d

There seems to be a common misunderstanding of what protest rights you have in the US. The first amendment does not give you the right to protest anything, at any point, in any manner that you want. In fact, the government has a duty to pr

IANAL too, but the NFL lost a relatively recent court case regarding fantasy football that, as far as I am aware, made the leagues statistics public knowledge as long as you compile the information yourself. Therefore the main legal issue w
