He thinks Free Speech should be controlled by the FCC on all media channels, broadcast, cable and satellite. I live close enough to take a class from him. Nah, I already know what he'll be teaching. - dan Read Chapter 2 of McCall’s book Viewer Discretion Advised if you want to see how he views Free Speech.

But you're right, we need professors to help us understand the complex wording of the freedom of speech clause of the First Amendment. Stop me when this gets too legalese: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." I was only a poli sci major, but I'm reasonably sure I can follow that one. Now that 3rd Amendment - the business about quartering soldiers in my home? NOBODY better abridge that one. Not agreeing with a point of view is considerably different than not understanding it.

How can you be against VNRs yet in favor of running VNRs from the football league? I assume he encourages the airing of opposing views in his classroom.

Sure, anything else I could run would draw fewer viewers, but 100% of the ad revenue would be mine. Or is that totally unrealistic from a financial or legal standpoint (the print guy asks)?

that’s a huge stretch.

Even if complicated contracts provide exclusive control to NFL franchises, a sense of logic and fairness tells us that the public should retain some right to objective media coverage. - With this new policy, the NFL is pushing away local broadcasters who have been helping the league build fan support for decades. Plus, the NFL and network video archives are full of the "local" footage that stations have been happy to provide, often without any compensation. Still photographers will likely be next. Can the local scribes be far behind? Two Points:
