Despite receiving a message from the district superintendent that it would no longer be allowed on sidelines during their games, Saugus High School players ran onto the field holding the Thin Blue Line flag ahead of Friday's game against Golden Valley High School.
Video shows two players running onto the field ahead of Friday's matchup with Golden Valley High School, one holding an American flag and the other holding the Thin Blue Line flag.
Weeks ago, the William S. Hart Union High School District superintendent and Saugus HS's head coach opted to have players top running the flag onto the field before games, due to the highly divisive nature and the fact that it may have been making some team members uncomfortable. While school district representatives were unavailable for comment, local activists made their voices heard.
For others, the flag is more than just a symbol but a message to the community that was there for them first during a school shooting back in 2019. Some feel that the flag, which is now widely used by white supremacists, there are other ways to make their message felt.
