Lumberhead when I read this earlier you got me thinking so I was ready later in the day.

Reposted-Sedition is no longer illegal. I’m fine with that. But a confederate flag on a government building is (legal) sedition. It’s a statement to me that the government flying that flag is not united with the other states of America, that people owning and abusing humans is a legitimate culture in today’s world.

The message I get from that flag on an old pickup truck is one thing. Bad enough already. The message given by that same flag at a state capitol is a declaration these United States of America should not exist. That our serving president could or should be shackled to unpaid slave labor.

If Arizona could lose the Superbowl over gay rights, why can’t southern states that proudly fly the wrong damned flag be similarly shunned by pro sports and corporations? Should they not be held literally accountable?

Somebody call the NFL, Los Angeles could use a formerly rebel football team.
