Two Little Miami football players pay the price for civil disobedience. They were told not to carry onto the field thin blue line and thin red line flags at their 9/11 game. They did anyway. The school has now suspended them from the team indefinitely. #ThinBlueLine#ThinRedLine
UPDATE: The two boys have been reinstated onto the team. School board press release below. It does not mention the massive national response to suspending them from the team, but does say they can play — and may still get disciplined by the coach for insubordination.
