Well this is a bit random but worth mentioning. In 2001 when the whole South Carolina Battle Flag controversy was making the national news many Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Cook-Off teams began flying the Battle Flag as a show of support. Well someone complained and the display of any Confederate Battle Flag at the Rodeo Cook-Off has been subsequently banned. However, this became big news when people realized that a well known, all black team had been using the battle flag as their sites theme for years. I mean they had it on everything, their tent, front, pit, napkins, plates, cups, koozies, aprons, t-shirts, even a brand for their meat. That being said you can still see plenty of other flags with meaning flying high at the cook-off most notably Bonnie Blue and the Come And Take It flag.
