proud our countryman is the fastest man in the world. It's kind of the whole point of athletes representing their countries at the olympics, world cup, etc.
Maybe not so much if they ever sang the third verse:
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave, From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave, O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
Only an American would be pacified by silly symbolism "with all the sh** going on" in their country. Focus on the important issues instead of a flag for once.

A yes, caring whether someone kneels or puts their hand over their heart during a song is clearly one of the most serious issues in the U.S. these days.

Truth! Liberalism is destroying the USA! Time to walk away from the tribe.

Billyjoe. I'm sure that you honestly mean well. God bless you sir!
That's certainly great flag code etiquette (and beautiful). But, it offset all the other flag code violations that occurred after the race. Were you disgusted with how he treated the flag?
Imagine being such an un-American a-hole that instead of wanting to see people work to fix the country you tell those who don't masturbate to the flag and the stupid song to leave. What a 5th grade response
Well I was always taught that putting your hand over your heart was a sign of a pledge. so when should you do that???????? Not during the anthem. Remove your hat, salute if in uniform, stand quietly at attention. No, you don't need to sing. When did all this new "patriotic" bull$hit come from? And I agree with the post that says the disrespect of draping athletes in flags when they finish is a load of crap as well.
