Ok, here is my take on it. The flag is not there for athletes to drape around their shoulders and pretend to be Superman. Athletes should honor the flag, the flag is not there to honor them. I think respectfully carrying the flag held high is one thing. Wrapping it around yourself and dancing in front of the fans is not respectful. Not for other countries, but to our FLAG. Show some respect to our symbol. Don't let it be degraded, but remember that the flag is a symbol of something you hope to add to, not to glorify yourself.
