Good move ACC! If South Carolina wants to continue to fly their testament to "Southern heritage".. .

then they can suffer the consequences. The Atlantic Coast Conference has informed the city of Myrtle Beach, SC, that the ACC baseball tournament will find other accomodations until such time as the Confederate battle flag no longer flies officially over state buildings. There goes a couple of million bucks the state probably could have used. Yee-haw, mother-fuckers.

1. An eminently reasonable solution.

Myrtle Beach is free to fly whatever flag they want to, but they should also be made aware that their decision might have consequences they don't like.

Good for the ACC.

3. One of my heroes is Dean Smith the old Tarheel coach

who put his job on the line early in his career to join in a civil rights action.
Good to see the ACC step up!

4. I'm a UNC grad (class of '74, thank you GI bill)

Dean was the head coach when I was there, and he was a class act from start to finish.

5. Good job!

Though it's not in my nature to say "Good job ACC" I can't help myself! (However, being a fan of an SEC school I can say nothing at all concerning red necks, LOL!)

Hitting people in the pocketbook for their ignorance is a great way to take a stand.
