That includes baseball regionals. MS continuing to look like total idiots.
Change the damn flag!

Agreed. It's going to be crazy for a seeded baseball team to travel for a regional. Past time for a change, it's the right thing to do.
Offline
Agreed, but it needs to be applied uniformly, i.e. to all states with "racist" flags. GA is a prime example.

So, how does a flag give a competitive advantage in sports? Trying to understand the NCAA role.

The NCAA is having to step in because the dumbasses that insist on having the Confederate battle flag as our state's flag. Hell, even NASCAR has banned that crap.

The dumbasses are two thirds of the voting public of Mississippi who voted to keep the flag.

I personally don't care what the flag is since it's not a big deal. I don't have a flag pole in my front yard. But when I hear of arrogant institutions such as the NCAA who has made a career in targeting OM and the whole state of MS, I dig my ground. They should stick with sports, and quit digging in to politics and tampering with democracy and our right to vote.

My oldest nephew, who just got back from Iraq, wasnt even born back then. It needs to be gone - no matter how many inbreds want to keep it because ItS mY hErItAgE. Tater is nothing but a damn coward by sidestepping every question that gets asked about it. The stupidity of our "leaders" in MS that continue to hurt this state just dumbfounds me. There's a reason kids that graduate from college leave the state. It's a racist symbol - get rid of it. If course, now our "leaders" are proposing a two flags in a "separate but equal" bunch of crap.
Did we vote on our state flower? Did we vote on our state motto? What about the state bird? No to all of those. Tater Reeves is nothing but a pathetic racist anyways, so he's gonna just embarrass and hurt this state even more. How people were dumb enough to vote for him is beyond me.

Change the damn flag. I could care less. If the people of MS feel the same, then democracy prevails. I just don't want the NCAA and other media groups who have a hatred of fear of everything Mississippi telling me to do it.

Have you noticed that the conservatives are the ones that always have to bend over and grab the ankles? In my 59 years on this earth ive never witnessed the left give into anything that offends conservatives or say they were wrong for anything like running these cities into the ground. Instead they blame it on Republicans. When a Republican hasn't held an office in that city for 60 years. Floyd murder? Blame Republicans.

My issue is not , the flag changing the flag or not. It is just being used to take and take. As we see, these people demanding the flag be changed are now wanting everything past 2019 gone from campus and for any alumni from those years to only be allowed on campus on their knees with their wallets open to pay for the sins of half a century ago. those who want to change the flag, I hear you, but it will never be enough. Until you draw a line in the sand and say screw you, they are going to keep coming and coming and coming for your school your state, your religion, etc
So dont give a inch. So you can;t host a baseball regional. Small price to pay.
