This week it was reported that the DUKES OF HAZZARD television show was being removed from TV LAND because of the controversy around the Confederate flag.  Anybody who has seen the show knows that the "General Lee" driven by Bo & Luke Duke in the series was adorned with "the stars and bars" flag on it's roof.  Warner Brothers owns the merchandising rights and said they would stop manufacturing toy vehicles immediately.

USA TODAY reports that PGA Golfer Bubba Watson owns the vehicle used for years on the CBS program. Bubba paid 110 thousand dollars for it.  In light of the issues raised in South Carolina, he is having the confederate flag removed and replaced with the Stars and Stripes.

Actor John Schneider, who played "Bo"  Duke on the iconic series had an interesting take on the situation with the television show and the tension caused by recent events.

NASCAR and the New Hampshire Motor Speedway have offered fans a one to one exchange a Confederate for a U.S. flag.
