Keith Olbermann, in the opening to his ESPN show, on June 24:

“We see that a symbol like a flag cannot only invoke and encourage racism, and violence, and madness, and murder, and treason, but that it can do something even worse. It can represent evil, and represent genocide, and the persecution, and mockery of a group of people because of the color of their skin. And if a flag can do that, a football team name, beamed into our homes every day, our headphones, our minds everyday, it can represent the same kind of evil, the same kind of genocide, the same kind of persecution and mockery of a group of people because of the color of their skin.”
