Kylin Hill, a star running back at Mississippi State, threatened Monday to leave the program if the state does not change its flag. Mississippi is the only state that features the Confederate battle flag as part of its state flag, and it has been under increased pressure recently to move away from that symbol of slavery and the Civil War.

The state better change it or this person who plays with a ball may take his temporary talent elsewhere.

The arrogance of this scum never ceases to amaze me.

Keep in mind, the new Mississippi State head coach is Mike Leach, who has been a staunch Trump supporter.

Why should the state of Mississippi have a flag featuring the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia?

If he wants to leave, let him leave.

Don’t let him come back.

The tipping point has been reached. OK State should have stood their ground, but alas they bent the knee to the mob. As far as MS changing it's flag, a bridge too far.

Gee, it seems if you’re so upset by the flag, that should have been something you investigated before you signed on kid. Not like this was a recent development.

Speaking of Leach, I know you are familiar with Reggie Leach the former hockey player. Different topic but I read the account of his (former hockey player) life as he was a member of the First Nation in a small town. Alcohol abuse was rampant in his family. Wanna talk about hardship? These pampered poodles bitch for the sake of bitching.

The state of Mississippi held a fair and square referendum on the issue of the flag back in April of 2001. IIRC, the vote to retain the flag passed by a 2-1 margin or thereabouts.

No state should be held hostage by the demands of a single football player. If the legislature and governor decided, they can hold another referendum.
