1. While symbolic in many ways, it's still a big deal.

I’m sure many Mississippians have one as a shower curtain or something; but, at least it won’t be flying over the Capitol, schools, etc.

2. The governor of Mississippi signed it

So the Confederate fucking stupid flag is to no longer fly on the flag of the great State of Mississippi!

4. Good luck to them finding a new design

I hope some artistic, talented Mississippian finds an attractive, eye-catching design that appeals to all Mississippians’ values and heritage.

6. They can stick with the old flag

Just remove the Confederate flag emblem from it.

Easy enough to do and requires not much thinking.

7. I think they need a new design. Otherwise

The Mississippi state flag would be an upside-down Dutch flag (And if you don’t believe me, use a search engine to look for an image of Netherlands flag).

5. It's amazing what power college sports has.

This would NOT have been possible but for brave college athletes speaking up AND the coaches understanding that they would be losing 4 and 5 star athletes commitments in the coming years.
