An Ohio high school has reinstated two football players after they were suspended for defying administrators by carrying flags at the start of a game that signaled support of law enforcement.
Video shows the players for Ohio’s Little Miami High School led their teammates in running onto the field at the home game Friday, the 19th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Monday.
They carried flags colored with a blue stripe and red stripe that signal support for police and other law enforcement.
The school said a ceremony held before the game honored the people killed in the 9/11 attacks.

Sounds like they chose a side. Do you think they’d suspend players for kneeling during the anthem? Nah.

This was not a political statement they were making.
It was a tribute to 9/11 victims because of the unspeakable tragedy that took place that day in 2001. The game was being played on 9/11.
Its a special circumstance where this should have been permitted. The next time it will be 9/11 on a Friday is like 8 years from now, so you can try to start the process to legislate out, a tribute to the biggest loss of life to ever happen on American soil.
We could offend this, and we could offend that. Quit being a panzy and stand up to these whining maggots. Shut up and educate the kids. Stop indoctrination and teaching critical race theory in our schools and teach them to be leaders. Teach them to have independent thought. Teach them life skills that will matter. Discipline, Persistence, Morality, etc.
Be an educator. The type of educator that values the American way of life, our police, our military and our 1st responders. If you can't get behind that, you are not qualified to be teaching kids. END OF STORY.

Shouldn't y'all be happy about this?
So honoring those first responders running up the stairs in the towers on 9-11-01 is political now?

Respecting police officers has nothing to do with politics.

You do make a good point. I do think the school overreacted, but I would have said the same thing if someone had some other flag (unless it was gang colors and the school didn't allow certain colors to be worn because of gang affiliation).
But its funny how people are okay as long as someone doesn't do anything they don't agree with.

If they took all politics out that would be great. It’s when they only allow some politics in, often that many disagree with, that it becomes a problem. Selective free speech is not free speech.
