The National Football League could learn a lesson about patriotism from the Fannin County High School Rebels in Georgia.

At the start of Friday night's football game the ENTIRE team ran onto the field waving American flags. A number of people in attendance at the game sent us photos and videos of the incredibly patriotic moment.

Supt. Michael Gwatney told WSB-TV the flags were meant to show support for veterans and active duty military personnel.

I hope the fans went absolutely nuts! I want these kids to get positive reinforcement for their budding patriotism.

Listen to the music. The band is playing Dixie. Liberal snowflakes are having a meltdown.

"Supt. Michael Gwatney told WSB-TV the flags were meant to show support for veterans and active duty military personnel."

Instead of spending money on an NFL jersey, or a beer and dog from concessions at an NFL game, how about sending $50 to this school to support their athletic program? It's definitely money better spent.

If anyone is wondering about the flag in the front row that looks like the Stars and Bars - it is the Georgia state flag!

It’s almost identical to the Stars and Bars but the perpetually aggrieved whiners don’t realize it. LOL

Georgia has had more than six flags. Here is an article that explains how the most recent one happened.

You know if the whiners ever figure it out they’ll be protesting.

The Rotary Club in our town puts a flag of that size in front of every home in our town that pays a fee of only $20 per year on national holidays.

It's quite a beautiful sight to drive through downtown with flags waving on both sides of the street.

It would be great to see a picture of these flags on Veterans Day.

That is not Atlanta, Fannon County is northern most north west Georgia. Well done. Fannon County Blue Ridge is the real north west Georgia.

I noticed the nickname too. And their song, “Dixie.” It’s all American and it’s all good. E pluribus, if you know what I mean.

Yes their GREAT DEED will end up bringing ‘shame’ to the fine young men - UNLESS WE stand up for them and the School District - which will probably ‘fold like a cheap suit’ if confronted.

That the Supt had to ‘explain’ shows me where his stand is.

Sometimes it is just best to STFU (are you listening PDT?) and your message will put itself out.

That was hilarious!

But the principal seems to be suffering from half a moon burn. That flag represents ALL off US and not just a few.
