University of Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh announced on Twitter Wednesday night that his team will hold a screening of “American Sniper” after the school pulled a showing when some students called it “anti-Muslim.”

“Michigan Football will watch ‘American Sniper’! Proud of Chris Kyle & Proud to be an American & if that offends anybody then so be it!” the coach tweeted to his nearly quarter-of-a-million followers.

The overwhelming response seemed positive.

Someone has to be a role model for standing up for what's right, so good for him! I hope it's standing room only at the screening.

One of my favorite movies of all time. If you haven't seen it, you need to!!!

It is not anti-muslim it is pro-American. It is also a propaganda film to keep the low info Americans feeding at the trough of nationalism.

Back in the mid 90's, my Mom worked as an in-bound telemarketer in Salisbury. Mr. Harbaugh phoned in an order, and was quite cordial. Anyway, good for him and good for Michigan football!

Read Chris Kyle's book. There are many disturbing things in there that show another side of him that is very frightening.

104-Gotta be cut from a certain cloth to do what he excelled at. I knew a guy who was a sniper in Vietnam. He wasn't normal, but I respected him.
