Are you kidding me?!? You idiot sjw’s need a serious reality check!
Well, I’ve got one of my kapernick dri-fits fixed, and will have my Military Appreciation ‘purple out’ dri-fit ready before the Wofford game.....
..... I certainly don’t anticipate being turned away at Death Valley!

Couldn't find anything that indicated they considered the flag racist...just that it was considered controversial...which it is because some idiot fringe groups have co-opted it for less than patriotic purposes. It sucks, but its their policy to prevent anyone intentionally (or not) creating issues at a game...

Something can only be co-opted if we allow it to be co-opted

If some idiot fringe group starts carrying around copies of The Constitution - will it then become too controversial for snowflakes to be in the same stadium with it?
C'mon man.

Southerners stood by and watched the KKK co-opt the confederate flag and did nothing.
That is a terrible shame in my view. I was raised to respect the honorable men of the confederacy.
Lee, Longstreet and Jackson...those were noble men, that was how I was raised.

Valid point. Should’ve said controversial, not racist.

However, colon said (sic) “...to him it was representative of an oppressive America that practiced slavery...”. I will also concede that carrying/waving the flag at a public event could be considered as controversial. But I believe his opinion/objection was based upon his race based ‘social justice platform’.
I would offer my agitation is as a result of the response - outrage, boycots, etc., and ‘banning’ of flags, red hats, even destruction of statues because some radical or offended - and vocal - groups/individuals demanded it.
I’ll let you know if I’m denied entrance to Death Valley when I wear my white Betsy Ross dri-fit to the Charlotte game.....

Getting triggered by a flag to the point of banning it equates to low emotional intelligence

Take a chill pill Bill. Just because something doesn’t bother you doesn’t mean it doesn’t bother one of the other 350 million people in this country.

Slowly but surely, with a statue here, a flag there, a memorial there, America’s identity is being erased.
