First off, thank you for your service, SARDG. Secondly, the freedoms we enjoy includes freedom of speech. Personally, I don't think disrespecting the flag falls under that freedom. To me, they are disrespecting those who have served, are currently serving, and worse, those who gave their lives for our country. I agree that baseball has the right idea. By disrespecting the flag, you are disrespecting the game. I am a big NASCAR fan, and you would be hard pressed to find anyone at a race disrespecting the flag. More than likely, you would have a fight on your hands if you did that at a race. Anyway, just my $.02, and I will get off my soapbox....
