*525MEMORANDUM

MATTHEW W. BRANN, District Judge.

I. BACKGROUND:

As life imitates art1, so too may life imitate sport! Here, the parties are wrestling over competing interests in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution; namely, Plaintiffs right to free speech against Defendant’s right to petition the government for redress of grievances (inter alia). For the reasons that follow, the Court holds that there is no adverse impact on Plaintiffs right to free speech. Accordingly, Defendant’s motion for summary judgment will be granted and this ease will be dismissed.
