I think because up here
some people think of it primarily as a symbol of rebelliousness, etc. But we haven't had the history of slavery and segregation needed (or at least some haven't gotten the education) to see it as the truly offensive symbol that it is.
I get someone would think it funny to bring it to a "redneck" game, it fits, and that they might not agree with anything the flag stands for. But then I guess I would ask how and why the guy had one in the first place.
Side note: inappropriate to display that flag, or any foreign flag, during the playing of our national anthem.
