An Ohio state lawmaker is hoping to prevent future brawls at Ohio Stadium after introducing legislation that would ban flag planting at the Buckeyes' field on game day.

An Ohio lawmaker, State Rep. Jim Thomas, has proposed legislation to ban the planting of flags on the field at Ohio Stadium following a brawl during the Michigan-Ohio State football game on November 25, 2023. The incident involved Michigan players planting their flag at midfield after defeating Ohio State, which led to a confrontation with Ohio State players. Thomas's bill aims to make such actions a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, arguing that it disrespects the game and the fans. The proposal has sparked debate, with some seeing it as an overreaction, while others support the measure to maintain decorum in sports.
