Students Rally For a Cause

Students riot the streets! With anger and passion, students from University of Tennessee showed they can really unite and rally for a cause.
What were the chants of anger and passion about- healthcare? war? animal cruelty? child labor?
Something much more dire. Their college football coach, Lane Kiffin, left their program.
While I am sure their feelings of disappointment and betrayal were real, it made me reminisce for days i never saw. Days when students would hold walk-outs, sit-ins, and protests for reasons that were real and tangible. We are not living in a time that doesn't demand our voice. Two wars, an economic melt-down, main street and wall street failings- and what we rally around?
I think the students should have protested. They were passionate about a university failing and felt scorn. But I just wish more students felt the amount of emotion they feel for their collegiate football program for the future of their county, for the lives of soldiers, or really for anything that doesn't involve referees.
