If you're going to do it, educate yourself and do it properly. There ARE ways to display the flag that actually mean disrespect and hatred towards it.
Excellent points, angryssg and thanks for your service.  |
Whether or not it's disrespectful is completely a matter of intent vs interpretation. Do you think the NFL honestly means to be disrespectful or degrade our country by putting the flag on the wrong direction??
If this is interpreted as disrespectful, that interpretation has nothing more to do than an anal definition of flag usage. If you'd stop and think about the spirit of what the NFL is trying to do, rather than getting all caught up in what the friggin flag code says, you'd recognize the true intent of the gesture.
Which is to honor and support the United States of America.
