A veteran in Cobb County, Georgia is demanding answers this week after he was told he couldn’t fly his flag while tailgating before a Braves game on Monday night.
“My whole life, it’s been our country, our family and the Braves,” Adam Mourdock told CBS 46.
Mourdock is a season ticket holder who was at the game with his wife and two kids.
“I fly a flag, an American flag directly above an Atlanta Braves flag at all the home games,” he said.
After arriving at the tailgate before the game, Mourdock put up his flag just as he does every time he attends a game. However, a parking attendant walked up to him and said he was breaking the rules.
“She said you need to take it down. It’s against the policy,” the veteran said.
When Mourdock asked to speak with a supervisor, he was told that she was the supervisor.
“There was no explanation, there was no policy in writing other than today that flag needs to come down,” he said.
The Braves has no policy that bans flying American flags.
“I’m an Army veteran, I fought for the right for Americans to fly their flags, and for someone to tell you you can’t fly it at a baseball game, that’s not the right place,” Mourdock.
