    More you want that to continue to define the State?

    Ouch. Yep, they were definitely thinking "hospitality state" when spewing that shit.

    Hosemann sent the flag resolution to the Senate Constitution committee where it will die. Our lawmakers are going to turn this into a ****ing circus and a huge embarrassment to the state. There will be more idiots like the Lowndes County supervisor interviewed and make us all look bad. Hopefully our MSU leaders speaking out against the flag will make our university look good. The state will spend millions it can't afford to fight about something that is going to eventually happen. Hell, if Tate Reeves waved a wand and changed the flag today he'd still get reelected. Mississippi Republicans aren't going to vote for a Democrat just because the Republican candidate pissed them off.

    Why penalize Miss State and ole miss because of the flag that the State uses? Both universities removed the state flag years ago didn’t they? The university doesn’t get to decide the state flag, so this makes no sense at all.
    Just for disclosure, I’m all for changing the flag because it’s obviously offensive to many people.

    I agree that the flag should have been taken down a while back. But Mississippi historically doesn't like change, any change, and is indifferent to prosperity. I hate the SJW movement, I hate liberals, I hate the revolutionary communist ideology, I hate the political system, but I also hate the good ol' boys club, and I hate division from within over an easy fix.

    It's not to penalize the universities, it's to penalize the state. The universities are collateral damage.

    I am a lifelong conservative who has generally been apathetic about the flag, I will admit. I am no doubt a flawed human being and perhaps my lack of care or interest in this issue has been another flaw of mine. But now it's at the point where my school is about to be put in a bad situation if change doesn't happen, and I really don't want to see us being put in a bad situation.

    I have a lot of big problems with today's cancel culture and normally don't like it when people give in to the demands of the angry mob, but on this particular issue I'm willing to say that I don't think our current state flag is worth fighting to keep. I hope it's changed just so I don't have to hear or read about flag debates again in my lifetime. Keeping it is just not worth it to me.

    Reply just to add that it is more than 2 sports. Softball, Tennis, and Track have also hosted NCAA events in the past several years.

    CHANGE the flag?

    Well just think about it; Each and everyone, born of woman, must be born again.

    Change is a must!

    We don't need to solely change it because we would be losing regionals and super regionals, but that's a pretty damn good reason to me. Tater Tot just needs to go ahead and make it happen. He'll more than make up for anyone he might lose by changing it.

    Call your representatives and state/local leaders to push this issue ASAP. If all of us just sit around on a message board declaring that the flag will definitely be changed, that gives Tate Reeves and co. time to kick this can down the road (which will cost us money and prestige as a university in the long run). Don't let this issue slide.

    I was going to say, it would be nice if a Mississippi faction led the charge to make this change. It's always a better look if the change is voluntary rather than only because you were forced to.
    There's someone in my head but its not me.

    Exactly this. Everyone in America has been laughing at Mississippi for decades because of issues like this flag nonsense. Christ, Mississippi--take some damn initiative and lead for a change. Instead of waiting around for the National Guard to force these issues on the state.

    Because many people in Mississippi (and other states too) are obsessed with college sports to the point that reducing its availability will make some people change their minds, just to keep the ability to host post-season play. Sports are that important to many. It's kind of a "hit them where it hurts" type thing.

    Preach!!!! Damn why must change be forced on ms. It's why businesses don't move here. Why the education isn't better.

    It's beyond time for so much to change.

    No. The flag is stupid. Just do away with it and do not vote in a new one. And what is this foot I keep hearing about? The flag is 17n racist. End of story. I am embarrassed I am associated with it through being a mississippian.

    Pathetic. Oh no the sick people that have nearly destroyed all sense of normalcy and community in America have been laughing at us. Maybe it's time we laugh at them and stop worrying about going along with the worldview of the media and corporate America in so many facets of society.
