If you were the supreme ruler of S.C....what would you do

  1. Should the State of S.C. take the confederate flag down from the CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL?

  3. Perhaps move the flag somewhere else in hope of pleasing the few people that it offends

    I don't like the NCAA and their UN tactics of playing favorites so I say shove it.
    The only other thing that comes to mind is when was the last time any team
    from Mississippi or South Carolina ever played for anything other than second
    fiddle?

    As a teacher, as social studies teacher at that... I can say that what we are told to push in class is exactly that.. that he was a saint that wouldn't kill a fly... no mention is ever made of the fact that before he died he was starting to advocate more and more the approach of the black power movement...

    It is a non-issue as far as LSU is concerned, it just means that NCAA basketball/baseball tourneys will never take place in the state of South Carolina. (None of the smaller sports either).
    I just disagree with the NCAA making political statements. I mean they run the largest sweatshop in the world, but flying a CONFEDERATE FLAG over a CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL is wrong?
