US car race "Confederate flag" banned at all.
"NASCAR", the most popular automobile race in American motorsports, prohibits the use of the Confederate flag, which claimed to continue slavery during the Civil War, at all events including races. I decided.
This was made clear by the headquarters of NASCAR in a statement issued on the 10th.
According to it, "The presence of the Confederate flag in NASCAR events goes against our responsibility to provide an environment that all fans can enjoy in isolation", and will be held at all related events and premises in the future. I decided to prohibit the use.
Nascar is the most popular car race in the United States, and many Confederate flags have been held at the venue until now, but according to American media, black leading players are prohibited from bringing flags to the venue. I asked the governing body to do so.
While some believe that the Confederate flag is a regional tradition, it is strongly criticized as a symbol of racism, and the US Marine Corps decided not to display it last week as a series of protests continued. I am.
