You're a good dude, I am not arguing with you on a personal level. My own thoughts are to change the Florida flag. You could easily display the state seal on a red or orange flag (instead of white with the red cross) and say that the color change is a reminder that we are the "Sunshine State".
I think the board historian indicated that there is evidence that the FL governor intended an homage to the Confederate battle flag back in 1895. I can also acknowledge that most of the South's Jim Crow racism was not recorded on paper for posterity. I have posted numerous other things discussing the construction of false southern mythology since 1865, and that's what I was getting at with "the red saltire is the St. Andrews cross and/or a tribute to our Spanish colonizers" and "the 13 stars represent the 13 colonies, and not the 13 (intended) Confederate states". The "stated reasons" are just a bunch of BS, it's just more fake southern mythology.
What is strange about all of this is that it has been an open secret for 150 years. I freely acknowledge that a lot of people TODAY are not aware of the history, but it exists, it can be researched, and it is not pleasant.
I'm just pointing out simple things. If the US Capitol removed the flags of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, I find it hard to believe that the SEC and the NCAA will not have similar issues, once someone brings this to their attention.
Personally, I think that when the SEC and NCAA announced this policy, everyone thought it would only apply to Mississippi. Not so fast...
