One Comment

Franco Harris, football star at Penn State in the 70’s, Pittsburgh Steeler star, and Hall of Famer wrote a tweet expressing his support for Joe Paterno. He never comitted a crime nor is there any evidence he was involved in anything that happened at Penn State. He had a job fronting for a casino in Pittsburgh; they “fired” him. The Mayor of Pittsburgh, an elected government official, forced him off a local scholarship board. So much for freedom of speech.
