Bubba Watson is taking the Confederate flag off his General Lee

The man is a bloody. He is only worried about protecting his endorsements, nothing else.

[windsorknot]

Me, too! Me, too!

[reg45]

It’s like painting over “The Mona Lisa” and replacing it with a portrait of Barack Obama. What would it be worth then?

[whinecountry]

Catherine Bach. Not guilty.

[doublecansiter]

Watson is a French name, who knew?

Well if he is going to have the Confederate flag painted out
then he should just go ahead and repaint the whole car,
maybe a nice pink?

[SgtHooper]

Yeh, endorsements worth millions. Not a difficult decision.

[MAKOTHEDOG]

He should just sell the car rather than ruining it from a collectors point of view.

[Zack Attack]

Watson is a French name, who knew?

Then perhaps I may suggest a white flag of surrender on top of the car.

[Dawgreg]

AMEN!!

[Average Al]

Yes how about “The Dumb Clucks?” ;-)

[Jane Austen]

This is what I thought. The hypocrite Bubba Watson might be replacing it with the rainbow flag. When he bought the car it had the Confederate flag. And suddenly he cannot bear to see it? While it is his car and he has the right to change it, it tells me more about him than about the flag.

He must have been just waiting for the best opportunity to stick it to the show. BTW, yesterday "The Dukes of Hazzard" was still on sale on amazon, even DVD's that had the flag. Also, books with the flag on the cover, such as "THe Jewish Confederates." Didn't amazon scream in outrage that they were not going to sell anything with the Confederated flag? Or was it misquoted in the media?

Then and now

sorry to burst bubbles....

[KSCITYBOY]

I thought a backbone was a good thing to have in golf. Guess not!

[bigdaddy45]

Never thought i’d see such poutrage about someone announcing they are painting an American Flag on something. Over the 4th of July weekend no less.

[Cboldt]

Bubba needs to be changing his racist name, as long as he’s at it.

[Recompennation]

Reagan warned about air brushing history away.

[smoothsailing]

no worries, you can't burst my bubbles! go ahead, try!

[Daffynition]

While he is at it, he better change the name of the car *General Lee* to something else....to be 100% PC.

[48th SPS Crusader]

In other words he is turning a unique car into just another car. For no good reason. Wouldn’t that make him a dumb ass?

[rockrr]

Nothing lasts forever (except perhaps my fantasies ;’)
