College and University Pro-Palestine Demonstrations / Football Season

College kids have always protested stuff - has it ever notably affected college football en masse? I would argue no.

It's more fake outrage pushed by the media to keep the people distracted. I couldn't even tell you what they're protesting about.

With more and more colleges and universities dealing with pro-Palestinian demonstrations disrupting all kinds of scheduled events, do you believe these disruptions will carry over to football games? The kick-off of the season will be here before we know it.

Rumor is that they might be kinda close on a peace deal there, so maybe by July things will calm down with that. Plus, I doubt half of the kids that are out there protesting could have picked out Isreal on the map before October 2023. They might be more focused on the election by then.

They would have to have police to protect the protesters from the fans. Except in the Ivy League where the Harvard-Yale game was interrupted at halftime by some demonstration at halftime. They went into OT and if it had gone any longer they would have called it off since they didn't have lights.

I'd be more worried about a suicide bomber like the ones that they had in Europe. Big event, big news.

Don't see it happening in Texas.
