----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mississippi, college football star running back Kylin Hill said
Monday he'll refuse to play next season unless Mississippi abandons its
state flag, which features the Confederate battle flag as part of its
design. Hill tweeted, "Either change the flag or I won't be representing
this State anymore & I meant that .. I'm tired."
