Flag Etiquette

Thought I would share my thoughts about flag etiquette and our current Olympic athletes and see what some of you more mature gentlemen think. Now I have all the respect in the world for what these athletes do and I realize that none of them are purposely trying to disrespect the flag but every night I see things that make me cringe. Using the flag as a cape after and event, H... I even saw one athlete draping it upside down around her shoulders after winning and event. The other issue that really bugs me is autographing the flag, I have seen several athletes signing flags for fans. I myself I think that anyone who is representing the flag in a world setting should have to attend a flag etiquette class. Share your thoughts and let me know if I'm off my rocker in the way I'm thinking.
