This takes March Madness to a new level.
A bit of intolerance was aired during the coverage of the NCAA tournament when Siena and Ohio State were playing on Sunday.
Greg Hengler posts at Townhall:
Watch the yellow sign appear in the middle of the screen at the 0:11 mark. The basketball game is Siena vs. Ohio State--Siena is a private Catholic school. This is not "tolerance."
Hengler points out that the "Nazi" label on the YouTube video is not his.
I don't know what the NCAA policy is regarding fans and signs.
The incident certainly has the look of the suppression of free speech. It seems like a case of religious intolerance.
However, if the fan violated policy, then I can understand the guard ripping the sign away. He would have been doing his job and enforcing the rules.
That said, if a policy banning signs that aren't obscene or in violation of FCC regulations is in place, I think the NCAA should reconsider its policy.
It looked un-American.
