The way to handle this indiscretion is to come out of the tunnel Saturday with a US flag the size of Montana

There was a seed of doubt inside this Alabama offense that lost so much from its 2020 championship team. Welp, got some bad news for the rest of college football. Column from Alabama 44, Miami 13

Another woke jackass that is going to preach to everyone what is right and what is not right. The player carrying the flag doesn't seem to have a problem with it, why should he? STFU and be a sportswriter or go see if they have room for you on the Politics page. Idiot!

I wonder what the little pissant thinks about the flag flying over the stadium, or the playing of the national anthem?

Why is running out with the flag considered a political statement?

It's sad that it is, though. Too much glamorizing the athletes that turn their backs to the flag, kneel fir the anthem, and bitch when they win a 3rd place medal.

Why can't the media instead glamorize those who embrace being American? Embrace what good has literally happened to them? Yet, they will honor those who feel they are a "victim" of "systemic racism", when they can say nothing more legitimate than getting a speeding ticket as a teenager.

I don't hold this against the Auburn Nation, as much as I want to. He's a peon. A loser. He will fade away and be a stay at home dad with a Facebook Group he steadfastly moderates while his wife gets blacked after work. "She's been working such long hours lately" he'll say.

Pretty obvious that Joe is just pumping his follower numbers there. He’s got you eating out of the palm of his hand.

Why keep silent and let everyone think you're a moron when you can open your mouth and prove to them that you are definitely a moron.

He compares it to the BLM stuff, He is a grade A idiot.

The American flag is a symbol of racism and oppression.

Duh.

About the only complaint I could possibly see about carrying the flag out is if you felt it was more "stunt" and less "patriotic".

Like, for example, if someone had felt Harsin only did it to score favor with the home crowd and convinced his players to do it.

Of course, that's the jaded part of me talking. I prefer to think that it came up organically and someone volunteered to carry the flag out of the tunnel.

That being said, the guy had to know how this would come across (regardless of intent). He's complaining about football players carrying an American flag through a crowd at a rural college in one of the 5 most conservative states in the country.

Then again, maybe he did it for shock value. People complaining means people retweeting and reading and sharing links. Instead of sports shock ("Alabama will lose to Mercer by 3 TDs! You heard it here first!") we get political shock ("Carrying the American flag means you hate black people, women and aliens from Proxima Centauri!").

Some desired result, different path to take there.

Joseph Goodman predicted Miami to beat Alabama by 2 Touchdowns.

Sounds like everyone on the team should carry a flag when they run on the field.
