I was specifically referring to banning the symbol in question from a game. That's the completely silly knee jerk reactionary part.

As far as "delegitimize a racist symbol" is concerned, be my guest. I have no particular love for that flag, and in fact to steal a quip from a friend of mine, the only Confederate flag that matters in my view was solid white.

But what often happens when you make a stink about symbols like this is that you simply raise their profile even higher.
