Major League Soccer club bans 'controversial' Betsy Ross flag at games
|
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Major League Soccer’s Real Salt Lake has banned people from waving the Betsy Ross flag at games, claiming that the Colonial-era flag design has been “adopted as a symbol for hate groups” and doesn’t fit with the team’s mission of inclusiveness.
The controversy started last month after season-ticket-holders Randolf and Diana Scott started bringing their giant Betsy Ross flag to games at Rio Tinto Stadium, which “ignited a firestorm” against the couple on social media, the local Fox News affiliate reported.
Last weekend, stadium staff asked the couple to put the flag away.
“They kept telling us if he wasn’t going to take it down, we were going to be rejected from the game,” Ms. Scott told the news station.
“He asked me — he’s like, ‘So what’s the purpose of the flag?’” Mr. Scott recalled. “I was like, ‘Well, ‘cause, we love America.’”
