Prohibited Items - Flags of Any Kind or Size

never been a fan of flags on the show field...they block people's view..

Oh, I'm quite sure after Charlottesville, they wanted to do *something* (even if it's wrong).

So they probably contemplated "no political flags," but then they were confronted with "well what would be considered political or not," which is not an easy judgment call.  Calling out specifically the confederate battle flag *could* have worked, but then there are ones like the Gadsden flag (which I have seen at festivals and Lockn' in the past, and in this environment could be considered an issue), and then someone mentions "well we don't want Antifa flags either..."

So they come up with a blanket "no flags."  Which is really extreme, and when they got to that point they should have just realized the whole thing was a lost cause. But "gotta do something" probably became the overriding goal.

So, I mean, I get it.  Doesn't make it the right decision.  But I understand how they got there.

Dont tell Smosey. He loves them.

Even the pickle?!
