'Trump: 2020' flag causes Minnesota high school basketball team to pull out of MLK day tourney

Backlash over a 'Trump 2020' flag display causes a Minnesota high school basketball team to pull out of MLK Day tournament.
UPDATED JAN 22, 2019

A Jordan, Minnesota high school basketball team hosting a Martin Luther King Jr. Day tournament pulled out after some of its fans displayed a "Trump 2020" flag at a game against Minneapolis Roosevelt High School, whose team comprises mostly African-American inner-city kids.

Following the game against Jordan High School on Tuesday, Michael Walker, of Minneapolis Roosevelt, wrote on Facebook on Wednesday: “Please explain how and why this is appropriate at a high school basketball game?”

The post featured a photo showing a group of white students, with the exception of one African-American student, holding the “Trump 2020: Keep America Great!” flag during the game, the New York Post reports.
