The opposing team stayed in their locker room during the anthem. In a sane America, that's what should be investigated.

Several other young fans sitting nearby were wearing clothing patterned after the American flag.

Outlaw the flag, it's the only answer.

From the Minneapolis (Red) Star Tribune: “I coach a predominantly black inner city high school team,” Walker wrote on his Facebook posting. “We go out to a rural area in Jordan, MN and this is there. Please explain how and why this is appropriate at a high school basketball game?”

Coach Walker, why don’t you explain why it’s inappropriate? You freakin racist moron! Trying his best to play the victim card and race card and whatever other card he can throw at it.

Does Coach Walker give opportunites to white players or is he a racist? If he is he needs to be fired and perhaps jailed.

We have a Supreme Court case that protects these students’ rights to to just this.

I guess their rights only matter if they are supporting Left wing causes and candidates right?

I wonder if the kid in the front row, right side of pic, who’s sitting with his buddies is also a racist.

:D

Oh, and while you're in a "questioning mode", Coach Walker, please explain why you allow the children you coach to publicly disrespect our nations's flag?

Oh, and while you're in a "reviewing mode", Superintendent Helgerson, please take time to question the actions of the adult leader who allows the children he coaches to act so ungrateful toward our great country?

Jordan is a nice town. It’s in the American part of the USA.
Roosevelt is a ghetto school behind enemy lines. They should never be allowed to go outside the 494/694 ring.

I personally would prefer that we keep ALL politics out of sports. But the NFL already sort of took care of that.

The teachers LED those. It's become criminal how we indoctrinate children in public schools.
