NAACP wants softball tourney moved out-of-state
A civil rights group is asking the NCAA to move a regional softball tournament out of Mississippi because the state flag contains the Confederate battle emblem.
Mississippi NAACP president Derrick Johnson calls the emblem a “racial hate symbol.”
The University of Mississippi in Oxford is hosting an NCAA regional tournament Friday through Sunday, based on the team’s performance.
