An Ohio state lawmaker has introduced legislation to make it illegal to plant a flagpole with a flag in the center of the Ohio Stadium’s field.
House Bill 700, the O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act, would make it a fifth-degree felony to do so.
No Flags on the Field
No person shall plant a flagpole with a flag attached to it in the center of the football field at Ohio stadium of the Ohio state university on the day of a college football competition, whether before, during, or after the competition.
Whoever violates this section is guilty of a felony of the fifth degree.
A violation of this section is a strict liability offense and section 2901.20 of the Revised Code does not apply.
