...with all the answers. I turned it in and got it back. My teacher said "this is a very good, excellently written essay: C+." When asked why I got the grade he mentioned one massive item that was required in the essay and I forgot. There was nothing I could say. I screwed up. That's how it goes.

Holy shit man. How can you not understand this. First amendment does not protect being from being wrong. How on earth do you arrive at this take?

Your usage of "pop academia" language just shows you don't really have a point and are just saying words. And 1st amendment protections do not extend to grading. This is entirely silly on your part.

I wonder what this says about modern football that the only 3 instances of this are in the last 6 seasons.

The biggest piece of reactionary trash is that dudes response. My word.
