Several Ole Miss basketball players knelt during the national anthem Saturday afternoon, before a game against the University of Georgia that was played about a mile away from a Mississippi pro-confederacy rally. Hundreds of Confederate 901 and Hiwaymen protestors marched through Oxford, Mississippi at the same time the game began, according to Clarion-Ledger reporter Nick Suss, who was live-tweeting the event. Counter protestors joined the march through the University of Mississippi campus, according to Suss.

That make sense. Disrespect the flag that flew over the forces that defeated the Confederacy.

Good point.

This is not like the Kaeoerick thing in that this is specific and local.

Kappernick is blanket anti-Americanism.

If these so called athletes would just buy their jockstraps one size larger, they wouldn’t have this problem.

Do they not know that the Stars and Stripes fought against the CSA?

Of course they know. After all they’re university students.

They’re college students. How could you expect them to know the difference between the USA and the CSA? /s

It doesn’t matter. They’ll be hanging around on street corners, breeding welfare babies with various baby mamas, and no one will remember them.

These ungrateful, ugly, mouth breathers who insult America as a whole when America isn't the cause of what they are upset about should get the hell out of America. Now. Maybe we should setup a funding source to get them a 1 way ticket out of America for rescinding their citizenship. Anyway, TO HELL WITH THEM.

You did say that. It is OK though. A lot of us Ga. kids went to Daytona Beach and considered Florida to be a nice place to visit. Of course we also did the tourist thing in places such as Cherokee, NC., Little River Canyon, Ala., Pauleys Island SC., and got donuts on the side of the road in Cloudland, Tenn. It’s just when UGA and Florida play each other in Football that the tribal sectarian vibe of rivalry rears its inglorious Head.

Shows their lack of logical thinking. Or is it all to get media attention? What can one expect of dumb athletes with a abnormal sense of entitlement?
