why does a football coach have anything to do with this issue? and if you were the first Confederate state, why would you try to hide your identity?

1. He has to recruit African American athletes.
2. Do football coaches have some limits on their First Amendment rights?
3. Should states with large numbers of citizens of German ancestry fly the Nazi flag?

All Germans were not Nazis. And the Confederate flag has nothing to do with race Hat.

Its about pride.

The war is over and the South lost. Time to move beyond the 19th Century. It'll be ok.

Not all southerners fought against the United States. Pride in the fact a bunch of hayseeds fought to preserve the southern agrarian system of free labor?

I imagine that's the only reason he spoke on it. I can't believe that a confederate flag would be such a big deal. But I'm not black so maybe my opinion isn't important

Yes, I can't imagine that something that stands for the following things would be a big deal:
  1. A nation in which its entire existence it was an enemy of the United States.
  2. A nation which was founded purely to defend the right to brutally enslave another race.
  3. A flag that has been used to represent various hate groups since it showed up in the 1860s.
In fact, I cannot think of anything respectable that is connected to that flag.

Why do something silly like that? It's preferable to celebrate a group of people who committed treason and took up arms against the United States.

You know better than to present a logical perspective on this issue. Now we're going to be flooded with posts from 'necks talking about how their great, great, great grandfather fought valiantly at Shiloh because he was a big believer in state's rights.

Yes I know. Taking it down seems smart. Why is it such a big deal?

If South Carolinians want to preserve the history of the flag, move it 3 blocks down the street and put it in the museum with the rest of the state's historical artifacts. It's ridiculous to have it flying at the state house.

Then I will just have to respond that my great, great, great grandfather probably killed his, because mine was a big believer in individual rights and the penalty of death for treason.
