If people started coming to your neighborhood, blaring rap music and waving Obama flags while they lynched people just for looking like you, then yes, 60 years from now you would probably be able to fire someone for having an Obama sticker on their car.

Piss balloons are a myth. Unlike Updyke, the tea bagger, the crazy Sugar Bowl lady, the Tide fan who killed another Tide fan after a loss, the couple who shunned their daughter's wedding to attend a game against a cupcake, and the Kyle Field welder.

All real, all rolling the tide, all bat shite crazy.

You're so wise and cultured. What's it like having first hand experience with every single fanbase in the world?

I can absolutely tell what it it's like not to read about any other fan base in the news for the wrong reasons.

You can, too.

Ahh yes the news. The place where every single detail of wrongdoing by every single fanbase worldwide gets reported.

I don't even know why I bothered to say anything. You keep holding on to that sweet arse hyperbole you got yourself here. Just remember, if you got hate in your heart, let it out!

Just the worst examples. Which is how Tide fans get mentioned.

No, no it wasn't.

He wasn't arrested. He was fired by a private company for bringing something on their property that they had asked him not to, and he didn't comply.

Of course there is a double standard, but the company is well within its rights.

I have a feeling that if someone at your job who was of ,let's say, Iranian descent showed up everyday at work with the Iranian flag flying, most of you wouldn't give two shits if he was fired for "displaying his heritage"... Cuz, "you're in the US of A now Mr. Iranian"


The ignorance from both sides is unreal. The CSA was for a short time a country... It went to war with the United States. It lost. Although I think the people who get so bent out of shape over some ignorant rednecks flying some other countries flag are playing victim.... The ignorant rednecks who continue to try to push buttons with this flag are unpatriotic louses.

So, people flying the Confederate flag are lynching people?

Do you have a link to your ignorant claim?

So...if someone decides to very publicly accuse RollTide1987...by your real name...of being a pedophile, there should be no consequences for such speech. Thanks for clearing that up. We should all be protected from any consequences resulting from our speech, right?

The Founding Fathers also protected small business owners from having to commit economic suicide by letting moronic employees make any and every public political demonstration on the business's property, even though it might piss off potential clients drive away business.

So bosses can fire someone for a bumper sticker? Music in the car? Where does it stop? I think this isn't legal, and if it is, it shouldn't be


Let's be honest here, this isn't a simple bumper sticker, it's a huge confederate flag hanging from a vehicle that would be seen from the company parking lot in a town that is 20% African American, all during a time that could be a PR nightmare for the company.

He made the choice and was offered a simple solution. When he left company grounds he would be able to fly his flag.

Because people nation-wide are interested in Alabama football. No one in a state that has counties and not parishes gives a shite about LSU. Figure it out.
