     The free speech rights of football fans are in question this morning. Yes, they can wear shirts with crude messages about an opponent, but they shouldn't. That's the message from the West Virginia coach to fans, according to a story in the L.A. Times.

     Football fans here in the South are much more genteel that all that....we just poison trees.
    This Summer, stricter penalties go into effect for blue bumpers stickers in Tennessee.  The sponsor says that's not a violation of the 1st Amendment:

  
"When you get into crossing the line so to speak you do not have a right to impose your speech on other people."
                                          TN State Representative Gary Moore, (D) Joelton



    
     Alabama banned obscene bumper stickers in 2003. 
     A similar South Carolina law was recently used to file charges against a women whose truck hitch includes a pair of plastic, er , bull parts. I'm not sure which is funnier: the story, or the fact that The Huffington Post used a pixilated photo.
     So just keep your potty mouth and pen and football T-shirt and truck accessories to yourself!
