Panthers join the chorus calling for removing the Confederate flag

Add the Carolina Panthers to the long list of those calling for South Carolina to take down the Confederate flag.

The Panthers, who play in North Carolina but have their training camp in South Carolina, released a statement in support of taking the flag down from grounds of the South Carolina Statehouse.

Our organization prides itself on bringing people together,” the statement said, via the Charlotte Observer. “Divisive symbols and actions should not stand in conflict to progress, healing and the unification of all our citizens.”

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley said today that the Confederate flag should be removed from the capital grounds in Columbia.
