Ohio Lawmaker Proposes 'O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act' to Make Flag-Planting at Ohio Stadium a Felony
Dec 11, 2024, 05:25 PM
Ohio State Representative Josh Williams, an alum of a MAC school in Ohio, has introduced the 'O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act,' which aims to make planting a flag at the center of Ohio Stadium a felony. This legislative move follows an incident where Michigan players planted their flag on the Ohio State logo after defeating Ohio State 49-13 in a game that led to a postgame brawl. The bill seeks to prevent behaviors that could incite violent brawls and endanger law enforcement officers. Critics argue that this proposal is an overreaction and suggest that Ohio State should focus on improving their performance on the field rather than legislating against symbolic acts of rivalry.
