Football Fans Demand Free Speech

Thursday, 10 December 2009 | by Pat's Picks

Here is a distillation of why it’s dangerous to have two football teams in one state: A Steelers fan was told by the borough she lives in to take down the banner proclaiming “You’re in Steelers Country” from the front of her house. The woman, who lives in Eagles’ country, has the ACLU on her side and plans to file a “federal free-speech claim” if she doesn’t receive an apology says the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It’s interesting to note that while the story was front-page news in today’s Post-Gazette, the Philadelphia Inquirer posted only a brief AP story on its website.
