No black person should have any faith in ANY Mississippi politicians (GOP or Dem).
The NCAA ban is just one piece that gave an already grassroots effort to change the flag more momentum. Kylin Hill just kicked it up a notch by directly calling out the governor with his voice at one of the "flagship" school as a Mississippi native (side note: he should have came to Valley lol)
These coaches need that flag down if they want to be successful in this racial climate.
That's because when it comes down to it, those two programs are going to be instrumental in influencing their alums in the legislature to come on board to change the flag. If there becomes a revolt with the black players they will suffer mightily. So they can't afford to risk that happening.If Mike Leach was down in Jackson faking the funk on the flag then you know it's real lol
The SWAC schools representation today made me proud (although I don't think the onus was on them but on MSU and UM)
Well I’ll be damned..they’re changing the flag.
I always loved Mississippi because of the history our people have there and every I’ve been, it’s been nothing but hospitality. That rebel flag just made the whole state trashy. Glad it’s coming down.
They could’ve shoved it in their face and said we’ll go to HBCUs instead but this doesn’t help us in the long run as it makes it more acceptable to go to a PWC.
I'm not going to speculate on his motivation, he chose Mississippi State out of high school, and it looks like he got what he wanted in regards to the flag. He will get drafted whether he plans a down of football this season or not. Transferring to an HBCU, at this point, could simply be a perfunctory gesture.I'm glad a lot of people are reminding Hill of this.
If he goes back to MSU after all they said about him, I don't want to hear from any Hail State people the next time they experience racism over there

I agree with you. What I am saying is that I’m not, nor will I be surprised if he stays put, because he chose that school. If he was really serious about exacting change, the flag issue would have played no part in his decision-making about where to play his final year of college football. It could a perfunctory gesture based on these simple things (my perspective):but he would've sent a major message - all it did was make everyone benefit and its business as usual.

It could a perfunctory gesture based on these simple things (my perspective):
1) there won’t be a football season
2) he has talent that will get him drafted period
3) Play his final season immersed in his culture
4) see reasons above
The kid could have made a major statement with his actions and no one at an hbcu, with the exceptions of the HU programs, will comment on his mother housing status.
