Football Great Rejects Alma Mater for Canceling 'Sniper' Film

Newsmax reports:
Current talk-show host and former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason says he is cutting off the University of Maryland, his alma mater, after it decided to cancel a screening of the movie "American Sniper."

Esiason tweeted that he is "never donating another dime to the U of MD" after learning about the cancellation of the film, which profiles the life of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle.

"I'm deeply saddened and insulted," Esiason added. Chris Kyle, he emphasized, "is a HERO!"

Esiason tweeted out an op-ed by Todd Starnes of Fox News explaining why the film was canceled at the University of Maryland.



Free speech isn't too popular on University of Maryland or many other campuses.
