BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – An Alabama Christian school is “seeking forgiveness” after students used a pre-game banner at a recent football game that played off Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan.

The banner – which read “Make America Great Again Trump the Tigers” – was designed and erected by students for last Friday’s game against Fairfield High School, which is a predominantly black school, AL.com reports.

Numerous students hoisted the massive banner and lined up in a tunnel near the end zone, where Briarwood Christian’s varsity squad ripped through the paper display as they headed onto the field.

Of course numerous folks at the game snapped pictures and posted images of the banner to Facebook, and it took off from there with allegations of racism. Briarwood won the game 27-0.

“Everyone has there (sic) own opinion but for the whole school to represent this crap. I’m pissed!! This should not be going down this close to me,” Breanna Love posted to Facebook along with a picture of the banner.

“They have lost their minds!” Alecia Davis posted. “They are doomed.”

“You feel me I was scared for my life. When the game was over I flew out of there. Ain’t no lynching my way,” Love responded.

“It’s ridiculous,” Nicole Cabrera told WBRC. “To me, it’s an insult because I don’t like Trump and Trump doesn’t like my people either.”

“Photos of the banner have been shared on social media, with at least one fan saying the reference to Trump, whose rhetoric has led to violence at his rallies, made her feel unsafe,” AL.com reports.

Briarwood school officials would not answer questions from the media about the banner, and instead issued a prepared statement of apology.

“Briarwood Christian School desires to publicly apologize for any understandable offense caused by the sign used during a recent football game,” Briarwood superintendent Barrett Mosbacker wrote to Al.com in an email.

“The message of the sign did not represent the school’s deep commitment to biblical principles and values, nor did it reflect our commitment to honoring and respecting our guests,” it read. “Our existing policies were not followed effectively and appropriate measures will be taken to correct this. Above all we desire to seek forgiveness of any who were offended.”

Fairfield City Schools Superintendent Walter Gonsoulin said he learned about the sign Monday when some parents complained.

“No one has given (or) filed an official complaint, but I have heard from some of the parents who felt it was disrespectful and they were wondering the intent of the sign,” he said.

Briarwood officials told WBRC they plan to make a formal apology to Fairfield High School, but many folks who commented about the situation online think that would be a mistake.

“Explain to me why they’re apologizing?” kynikos posted to AL.com.

“Feelings, nothing more than feelings that we all wear on our sleeves. What a hyper sensitive bunch of cry babies we have become. No wonder we are raising a generation of wussies,” TSU86 added.

“Trump should be there for the next home game and run thru the sign with the football team!” Dingbat wrote.

Girlyfan posted a picture of Briarwood and Fairfield cheerleaders posing in a picture together after the game, and all were smiles.

“Briarwood and Fairfield cheerleaders fellowshipping after the game … clearly there is no ill-will between them,” she wrote. “Perhaps the adults posting on this site could learn from them.”

Girlyfan also countered another commenter who alleged the banner’s alleged racism “was no mistake … it was very intentional.”

“I am not at all sure why you would say that,” Girlyfan responded. “Did you know that the moms of the Briarwood football players asked for a Fairfield roster so that Friday morning they could pray for them by name? Did you know the Briarwood football parents provided a meal for the Fairfield players before they loaded the bus, served in bags decorated by the kids at the elementary school that stated what a great school Fairfield was?

“Did you know that the cheerleaders from both teams loved on each other after the game?” she asked. “Why are you trying to make this into something that it is not?”
