NASCAR driver Ray Ciccarelli announced that he's quitting because NASCAR banned the Confederate flag. He finished his career with 0 wins. He went on a long rant shaming kneeling during the anthem & banning the flag:

@BengalsCaptain @SirAnaba @ComplexSports Not to mention, it wasn’t even the flag of the confederacy. It was was the flag of the northern Virginia army and it was adopted in the 50s as a response to the civil rights movement. So nothing to do with southern heritage and everything to do with being a racist fuck

@deeboscoup @SirAnaba @ComplexSports It does look like the Confederacy adopted it after the Battle of First Manassas, according to Wikipedia. And even more so post war. Regardless, any of those flags represent people fighting against the United States.

@BengalsCaptain @SirAnaba @ComplexSports near fact check on wiki guys

@TEEHlGGlNS @SirAnaba @ComplexSports Not enough characters for all of it, that part of the reasoning would be enough for me to never have to see the flag again, and I grew up in the south.
