How rebellious of him by going over his monthly allowance already. You think every single Iowa player is abiding by these rules doing this time of turmoil?
Why are you here then and not doing dochtermans job?
Is this really where you’re going to make an another failed stand? Go tweet at dochterman about it. Why do you care so much that Cyclone fans are up to date on Iowa’s twitter policy?
Okay so do we know the entire context of the rule? Is it only for during the season? Is it only pre-approved when dealing when the tweet involves the football program? Trying to prove the rule is made up by pointing out guys tweeting during this time is invalid. There's no way the program is limiting tweets during this period of time due to the current political climate as well as the accusations being brought forth against Kirk and his staff.
Sympathizing with riots and destruction of property is most definitely political. There is only one side of the political spectrum that is currently sympathetic to going beyond the peaceful protesting, and if you can't see that, then you aren't paying attention to anyone outside of your own political sphere. Don't try to equate this with the American revolution to justify the rioting.
Most likely the Iowa coaches are now refraining from enforcing the rule given what is going on in the world...
Maybe it was their first stab at opening up social media to their players, and they realized how silly it sounded or unworkable it was so they've since lifted even that restriction.
It's still worthy of mockery how little confidence they have in their own players to allow them to function as young adults in the year 2020.
