Why is everyone mad at Dixie I wonder what Dixie has done and what is going on calling cac racist were not racist where is all this coming from? I am very confused

No one is mad at Dixie. He jokingly suggested putting a CAC tribute into the game, complete with a rebel flag. Some of the older and very sensitive (hahahah) players got really uptight about it, and I had to don my Johnny Reb uniform and go off to war. (Kidding again)

It's over, it's settled. The whole world realizes you guys mean no harm, and that strangely enough, very few of you are from the south anyway. It's just that ol rebel flag has a lot of different and often serious meanings to different people. That's all.

Carry on Mo, and I'll see you in the game.

What do you mean "I very few of us are from the south" I'm not aware of this!!!! I'm sad now!!!! ;(((( lol I just kidding!!!

Well, we've all been talking, How can we as a group kill Mo ? I think we decided that Red White or Blue we would all target Mo in every game... ... You know. Just for kicks and giggles. Enjoy the game. Mo.

Lolol!!!

If, by some chance you need a very very good history lesson regarding why so many get uptight regarding that flag, I suggest speaking to Big Tex. He's our local history expert, and the son of a couple of freedom riders who has gone on to accomplish some pretty darn impressive things in his own life. Plus, he is a very nice guy. (Aka approachable and will take the time to talk with you)

If on the other hand, you want to know why everyone DOESN'T hate said flag, I will give you my best explanation of how the flag started as a symbol for a hard and valiantly fought, but ill advised military campaign, morphed into a major symbol of hate, and how it has now somehow started to morph again (starting in the late 70's) into now symbolizing independence, self governance, and just a laid back and easier way of life.

My suggestion though is to play the game, have a good time, and enjoy your friends. Reality is cold and hard and will have to be dealt with enough in life without dragging it into this game.
