Flag planting at Ohio State would be felony under proposed law

I am game I would assist in this endeavor on the down low if the frat boys would get on board

I’m in the same boat as you. I can’t say I know any active AGR’s as it’s been 20 years since I was in school

That's not a Bill; It's a William.

They’re all a bunch of Richards.

Have texass and ohshu play each other twelve times to count for a season,then give them a small milk and a participation trophy and send them to bed.

Right. No mean flag planting, no horns- down, only hugz.

That would be even better. No blue here

My dog is a cousin breed and about the same size as Smoky. It would be an epic dump

I don't disagree, but that doesn't justify turning collegiate athletes who just won a huge football game into felons. A suspension for a game or two? Maybe. But this bill is absurd!

This will never happen. There's so much stupidity in this world, but this is above and beyond. I do believe there needs to be a penalty as it causes all out fights, and as much as that's entertaining to the masses, it's not good for football and causes on field retaliation.

Ahhh, government. They'll fix it.

Next up, a "Horns Down is a crime" bill from Austin.

 

[RockyMtnsVol]

It’s completely ridiculous. This would literally come with prison time!?! It should be up to the coaches to discipline considering that punching somebody after the game was already a felony.

How do you plant flags on turf? Does a flag in a stand count.

 

[volbound1700]

Who cares, I don't want us planting our flag if we win anyways. Just win and advance. Nothing against Buckeyes.

Someone got their feelings hurt. LOL!!!!

It is classless wherever it happens.

I agree, it is classless but should it be illegal?

 

[Volanta]

that is so stupid and weak

Hell No! Just another silly bill brought by a state house in an effort to legislate morality and culture.

Maybe the people who fight after the game is over need to be tried for assault. That would put everything into correct perspective.

in the real world, if you assaulted someone for planting a flag in a space being shared jointly, you would be arrested and charged with assault. Period.

I heard an interview with the representative that wrote the proposal. He said he did it knowing there wouldn't be enough support to pass it as well as not enough time left in their legislative session for it to even come to a vote. He was disgusted that no one had stepped forward to address the situation from either the schools or the NCAA. He said the fine was literally nothing with no effect. He was upset about the violence displayed and that a police officer suffered a severe head injury in the scrum and can't work for a while. His purpose was to shame the NCAA or someone to take these matters seriously. He said "you reward what you allow". His fear is this behavior will trickle down to the high school level and below. He said he couldn't care less about the flag planting, but the violence it brings about is his concern.
