Seriously, this isn't a football match. The Confederate flag doesn't win by you scoring enough points against the Union.
You realize that America was founded by slave owners rebelling because they didn't want to give up their slaves right? Why does the Confederate flag stand for slavery and rebellion but the American flag doesn't?
As I've already explained multiple times, because the USA has been around for over 200 years and has done many things, both good and bad, whereas the CSA started a war for slavery, lost that war, and hasn't been up to much since. 100% of the history of the Confederacy is associated closely with the slavery of black people, so it only follows that symbols of the Confederacy would evoke thoughts of racism and slavery. You may as well ask why people don't associate
this with American football. You realise that there is an Army football team, don't you? Why do the logos and symbols of the New York Giants stand for football but the logos and symbols of the US Army don't?

Sorry to disappoint.
