Wow I had forgotten about that but I actually remember it from the time. I thought I remembered it from one of my favorite shows of the era "This Week in Baseball" but I just looked it up and it didn't premiere until '77. I was probably delirious from the defeat of my beloved Red Sox at the hands of the evil Reds a year earlier. Damn you Cincinnati...DAMN YOU!!
I watched the YouTube link posted above and the ******* who posted it added a comment that they were Muslims. I thought that was kind of unlikely for a guy named William Errol Thomas from Eldon, Missouri in 1976. I looked it up and of course the YouTube guy is just another assh*le trying to stir the sh*t. Lies like that are designed to spread hate....just like burning the flag.
Actually it was a father and son. The father was described by the media at the time as a hippie and communist sympathizer. Now that sounds more like the wing-nuts of 1976.
