conference commissioner can force a state government to change their state flag.

Just get it done! As long as there are no compromises

(like the SC Heritage Act), I don't care how it gets done!

appealed to the state legislature on a number of prior occasions to change the flag, but to no avail.

Maybe this time will be different.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

If enough world class football players follow Clemson's example -- Hopkins and Watson -- that flag is toast by sundown. Don't for a minute think Clemson's trustees made those decisions out of the goodness of their hearts. They saw recruiting and revenue going into the toilet.

How many world class football players have come


Jun 19, 2020, 2:19 PM

from Ole Miss and MS St that are in the league today? Is Dak world class? Probably. Laremy Tunsil is a great football player, but can he make an impact? Ok, well I just named all of the current NFL players I could think of off the top of my head from those two schools.

How about Florida and Alabama? They were confederate flags

How about the American flag? We all know that several of those stars represent racist states and the stripes represent racist colonies.

The “Stars and Bars” belong in a museum. Not on a state flag.

The “Stars & Bars” is not a part of the Mississippi state flag. The “Battle Flag” or Cross of St Andrew is. This is a common misconception with the flags of the CSA. The “Stars & Bars” was the first national flag of the Confederacy.

However, the “Stars & Bars” is the basis of the design of the Georgia state flag. Only difference is Georgia state seal in blue field instead of stars.

Georgia was forced to change theirs in 2003

Looked almost identical to the Confederate flag until then

So the guy who runs an organization that makes millions from the labor of mostly black athletes while working hard to make sure those athletes aren't paid want to force a state to change their flag...

surprised it hasn't already been changed like Georgia but


Jun 19, 2020, 12:05 PM

what conference championships are held in Mississippi? is that really some type of leverage? heck the state legislature might need to tell Sankey they'll change it but the SEC Basketball Tourney needs to be played in Biloxi and the baseball in Jackson.....

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Minnesota is changing their state bird
