PGA Tour Star Announces He’ll Paint Over Confederate Flag On Original ‘General Lee’

Only days after TV Land announced they would stop airing reruns of “Dukes of Hazzard,” another piece of Bo and Luke’s legacy is going the way of the dodo.

PGA Tour star Bubba Watson announced on Thursday night that he’d decided to paint over the Confederate flag on the roof of his “General Lee.”

and how about that show The Jeffersons? How many times did he use the word 'honky' and no one was offended? Or the word 'zebra'? it's all bs

I'm not a racist. I own a flag and I will still leave it hanging. It's not offensive. Case closed.

He obviously wasn't man enough to own a General Lee anyway.

He's a wussy plane and simple.

If he feels that way he should sell it, not destroy an automotive icon. Maybe Al will buy it,

Bubba, just sell it to someone who can appreciate it. So, what about the name, "General Lee"? If you steal his flag, is he still a General? Or, just call the car, "Lee".

What a loser.

It's not the General Lee without the Confederate Flag, he should just sell it to someone that can appreciated it as an icon. BTW, all he's worried about are his endorsements.

Wow - Bubba really is a pandering jackass.

I wonder if the body shop he goes to refuses to paint over it will he sue them under the same grounds as LGBT has done.

He should sell the car to a patriotic Southerner, he certainly does not deserve it.
