Direct from the NASCAR website (with a tip from Stephani Ruhl Katie Tur)

We were watching Katie Our as she handed off to Stephanie Ruhl at 6.00. Katie teased the news and Stephanie, grinning broadly, mentioned it.

“The presence of the confederate flag at NASCAR events runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans, our competitors and our industry. Bringing people together around a love for racing and the community that it creates is what makes our fans and sport special. The display of the confederate flag will be prohibited from all NASCAR events and properties.”

to see neoconfederate fans try to circumvent the ban, only to get tossed out unceremoniously onto their ear.

Can somebody please explain to these idiots that its only the GOVERNMENT that cannot infringe on their free speech?

Private entities are within their rights to say "no shoes, no shirt, no service - and get that POS LOSER FLAG off my property".
