I think this is where I am on it too. Just seemed like he teed up the first player he saw rather than targeting the flag. You can even tell he just wanted a cheap shot with how he hops away celebrating after the hit. And good on the kid that gets hit to hop up and charge after the dude too.

All in all, to me this seems like rivalry assholishness more than anything anti-American.


Except the Jefferson High Instagram specifically says that they were targeting the flag:

An Instagram account using Jefferson branding posted the clip with this caption: "This is what happens when you disrespect us... wasn't feeling that American flag 😂" A laughing emoji.

So it clearly says that it was retaliation for them "disrespecting" by walking across the field. The flag comment seems like a joke (and even says a laughing emoji followed it).

I saw that video and glad we got the full story behind the hit. I would hate to think a high school football player, even in Portland, would hit another player for carrying the flag.

Should’ve been 15 yard penalty to start the game and the player should have been suspended for that game because it was blindside hit and not the normal scuffles that sometimes occur pregame with no suspensions.

Should also be an offsides penalty for the handful of usual suspects who feel moved to politicize everything.

Blah blah Portland. The guy carrying the flag was from Portland too.

Let’s not sensationalize this. Yes he should have been penalized, but you can’t tell me from that 15 second video you believe it was an attack on the American flag.

And banned for life and jailed? Get out of here. And I’m the biggest supporter of the flag.

It looks like two teams that are probably rivals with beef against each other having a pregame scuffle when one runs out the tunnel.

Just a coincidence the guy was carrying the flag?

I’m just surprised none of them have tried to claim it’s AI and not real.

Funny when you ask them to GTFO of the country they refuse.


That’s because it’s not about them being happy, it’s about making others miserable.

He was 50 yards from the tunnel. The guy picked him out to hit. Either he had a personal grudge or it was an attack on the flag.

Anyone who watches that video and thinks first out of the tunnel is a factor is being dishonest. It might as well be first who brushed his teeth that morning.
