This thread should be in the cave. I think it's pretty obvious what world events they are protesting. I'm reminded of it everytime I turn on the news, don't need to be reminded of it on a college sports page.
I have yet to see where they say what the protest was for and what the private event was. Until then, I’m sticking with my assumption of the University denying their bid for the LARP world championship to be hosted at Kinnick.
