Utah Couple are Banned from Waving their US Flag at Real Salt Lake Soccer Games Because the Team Says it has Become a 'Symbol for Hate Groups'

[Turd Fergusen]

SANDY, Utah -- A Utah County family that brought a Betsy Ross flag to a Real Salt Lake soccer game is speaking out, after stadium staff asked them to take the flag down.

RSL team leadership said the flag is banned, and indicated that it doesn't fit with their mission of inclusion and unity.

Randolf and Diana Scott have RSL season tickets, and attend every home game at Rio Tinto Stadium.

"Soccer is just a big part of our life," Diana said.

Most known for his brightly colored mohawk sometimes painted like an American flag, Randolf stands right up front during games. He brings a bag with RSL swag, big chain necklaces, and an American flag that he waves.

At recent home games, he's gotten more attention than usual because of a new item he added to his game gear.

It's the commonly named Betsy Ross flag, which was an early version of the American flag. It has 13 stars in a circle, versus the 50 stars featured today.

They were getting lots of positive attention, so it's only natural for haters to emerge and try to fuck it up.

Since when did the Betsy Ross flag become a symbol of tyranny? Jesus F Christ. Although it is a soccer team, bet you 95% of the players are not US.

I don't get how a flag becomes a problem,
unless it is this one ..

Which it clearly ain't.

Damn, I was wrong. Out of 30 players 9 are from out of the states. Still pretty sure the Betsy Ross flag is as about as innocent an American flag you can get.

I googled betsy ross flag assuming that there would be a lot of pictures of white supremacists waving that flag and making OK signs with their fingers. The results all look entirely innocent.
The problem is that no one ever counters this crazy shit. Instead, they make people change their behavior as if the fantasy is true.
Is it too much to hope that next game, 100 fans will proudly wave Betsy Ross flags?!
