Admin and board probably have not heard the last of this. They will likely be getting ears-full from local parents and patriots.

Two Little Miami football players have been suspended from their team after they ran onto the football field with a thin blue line and thin red line flag.
When the Little Miami High School football team took the field Friday, Sept. 11, a couple of players carried alongside the American flag a Thin Blue Line and Thin Red Line flags.
You can watch the proud moment below:

Well, it was a proud moment for everyone who loves America but as you can see from the comment of the guy who uploaded the video, some “Americans” don’t approve this patriotic move because they thought this was just another political show.
“Were you trying to make some kind of a political statement here?” Local 12 asked Brady Williams, a senior cornerback.
“No,” he answered quickly. “Not at all. I was just doing it to honor the people that lost their lives 19 years ago.“
His father is a police officer, and he says he wanted to honor all the cops who lost their lives trying to save others on 9/11.
Jarad Bentley carried the Thin Red Line flag.
“I was all for it,” he said. “Because my dad is a firefighter, and if it had been him killed on 9/11, I would have wanted someone to do it for him.”
The spokesperson for Little Miami Schools said the players did ask for permission in advance to run with the flags but were told no.
The players did it despite being told no, according to the school.
“Listen,” Williams said. “I don’t care what my consequences are. Ss long as my message gets across, I’ll be happy.”
The school decided to suspend Williams and Bentley from the football team as a result.
More ‘tone deaf’ government employees.
Notice how ‘obedience’ is the number one priority?
“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”

This is in a reasonably conservative Clermont County next to Cincinnati...proving we gave up our public schools to Marxists.
Football is incredibly important to the subculture of the American melting pot and teamwork that emerges from such unity. Ultimately its why things as remote as carrier operations in the US Navy work so well. Its why American law enforcement is so effective. Disciplined, unselfish, and hence effective teamwork.
Its one of the primary reason we lead the world. And American enemies are only too happy to interfere with foundations of how that happens
“When did it become controversial to honor first responders?”
About when it became controversial to stand for the National Anthem.
Alejandro Villanueva was one of the first, whose alleged patriotism lasted less than 24 hours after expresssion.
Drew Brees’ 24-hour patriotism conscripted his wife to join him in apologizing to America.
:: Ss long as my message gets across :: [sic]
Instantly making his act POLITICAL.
“my message” ruined it for him.
Disgusting. But NFL permitted time disgrace our national anthem?Football players suspended from team for carrying Thin Blue, Thin Red lines flags at game
Fat pensions, lifetime healthcare, they need Government to pay them.
Superintendent says he didn’t want to open it up for other players to wave flags of other political statements. Since when is honoring first responders on 9/11 a political statement? Especially when the boys fathers are police and firefighters?
Administration: “We believe in the right for the players to peacefully protest...except for this”
Ans: IMO, when it became fashionable to present as a "community organizer"
From a political perspective, "reorganizing" is viewed as a soft, early step in what is hoped to be a bloodless "overthrow".
The NFL is owned and operated by whom?
Houston,we’ve got a problem with a communist insurrection.
“... apologizing to America”
Drew Brees most certainly did not apologize to America. He apologized to anti America.
Oh but kneeling or locking arms is NOT a political statement????
“Drew Brees most certainly did not apologize to America. He apologized to anti America.”
OK, freepers in New Orleans might disagree. ;-)
“I would like to apologize to my friends, teammates, the City of New Orleans, the black community, NFL community and anyone I hurt with my comments yesterday.”
