Baker Mayfield, the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, expressed his hope that the NCAA does not outlaw flag planting in college football. This sentiment comes in the wake of recent altercations that followed flag-planting incidents across the country. Mayfield, known for planting an Oklahoma flag at midfield of Ohio State's stadium in 2017, emphasized that such actions are a part of the intense rivalries in college football.
Mayfield highlighted the tradition of flag planting in the annual OU-Texas matchup and suggested that it is a common occurrence in the sport. He acknowledged that after such incidents, teams should accept the outcome and move forward.
