Following a game on Tuesday in which their fans controversially displayed a flag supporting President Donald Trumps re-election, the Jordan (Minn.) High School boys basketball team has pulled out of an invitational tournament on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The Jordan Hubmen were scheduled to play Patrick Henry High School at the Martin Luther King Showcase on Monday but cancelled the game on Sunday. Jordan School District Superintendent Matthew Helgerson said in an email to the Star Tribune that he didnt want our presence at the event to detract from the athletes.
Jordan High School got into hot water because of the optics surrounding their recent home game against Roosevelt High School. Jordan is a rural, predominantly white school, while Minneapolis-based Roosevelts enrollment is 79 percent minority, according to the US News & World Report.
Home fans had planned a patriotic theme night, and several students prominently displayed a Trump 2020: Keep America Great! flag on the front row. The move upset Roosevelt head coach Michael Walker, who posted a picture of the crowd on Facebook, questioning what place the flag had at the game.
