Two high school football players in Morrow, Ohio, have been briefly suspended from their team for carrying “Thin Blue Line” and “Thin Red Line” flags onto the field in support of fallen police officers and firefighters.
Little Miami High School football players Brady Williams and Jarad Bentley, both seniors, led their team onto the field while carrying the flags before their game on Friday, which marked the 19th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The two were denied permission from school officials to run with the flags but did it anyway, according to a statement obtained by The Cincinnati Enquirer from Little Miami Board of Education.
