In the 1990’s, hip-hop artist Luther Campbell was attacked by politicians and legislators who wanted to censor his music because of what they deemed to be offensive lyrics. He spent years in court fighting for his First Amendment right, eventually prevailing and paving the way for artists to now be able to express themselves freely. Today Campbell is embedded in the NFL community, having run a youth football program in Miami for 29 years in which he has coached several current players, including Falcons running back Devonta Freeman. After Donald Trump’s remarks at an Alabama rally on Friday night, labeling any NFL player who protests a “son of a bitch” and saying that they should be fired, Sports Illustrated’s Ben Baskin reached out to Campbell.
