"Daniel Argueta and his family decided to sit after a pickup truck displayed the Confederate flag and a Gadsden “don’t tread on me” flag, in addition to two American flags, during a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” reported Deseret News.
“You kind of get caught in, yes, you want to stand, you support the U.S. flag,” Argueta told KSTU-TV. “You support the troops, you support police officers, but what is the Confederate flag doing there? For anybody that knows history and understands the negative impact of that flag and how it’s been used historically, it’s hard to stand up.”
Argueta said other crowd members continued to stand during the salute, and his wife asked to leave afterward with their five children.
The event was sponsored by the city of West Jordan and organized by Stirrin’ Dirt Racing, whose owner blamed one of the company’s “helpers” for the incident.
“It wasn’t politically correct, I’m sure, for some people, but there’s some people who look at that flag and say this is the land of the free,” said organizer Jim Simko. “It shouldn’t have happened, but I can’t, unfortunately, watch what everybody does at every minute.”
