Stifling Old Glory

[Toxick]

NEW YORK — American athletes have been warned not to wave the U.S. flag during their medal celebrations at this summer's Olympic Games in Athens, for fear of provoking crowd hostility and harming the country's already-battered public image.

Maybe we could get a giant black flag with a giant hand projecting a giant middle finger and use that.

for fear of provoking crowd hostility and harming the country's already-battered public image.

Why even participate?

Can they wear RW&B or is that out too?

What a ####ing joke...

Who warned them not to wave the flag? What other countries will receive a warning like that? This is getting ridiculous.
