Think it depends where you go to school. In my experience (and, yes, I have gone to school in the USA and the UK), it is no better or worse than being made to say the Lords Prayer every day at school.

There are smaller American flags and larger French flags available. Every single military color guard has numerous US and allied flags available and that is who is generally invited to present the colors at the games.
Not something to truly be arsed about but it is a little disrespectful from an organization comprised of assholes
Oh yeah......at first glance I thought it was the Russian Flag......all three use the same colours, they just arrange them differently.

Is it? I'm on my phone and cannot even see it
As someone who had a stint both as a member of a Color Guard and running one (Naval Submarine School (hoo-rah Silver Dolphins!!!!) for both, once as a student back in the late 90's and then as an instructor running it) that is not true.

Yeah I think so, I'm not really arsed whether they fly the flag or not, but if you're going to then it's still probably worth getting the right one.

oh god (literally)...i remember moving to England from Germany age 10 and in my first English school every morning we had to sing bonkers religious hymns all wearing the same weird grey school uniform (no uniforms in German schools). Cult-like in a way.
so yeah, agreed...exposure to the flag is no worse/better than exposure to this sort of thing.

I like the fact that the USA stand proud behind their flag, the UK used to before we gave up hope.......

How about no flags and just a minutes silence.
Or lift up red, white and blue cards like this:
They have plenty of them lying around, I'm sure.

I thought people were mad about the size but then I looked on my PC and saw it is indeed the wrong flag. LOL
I think I am confused about where the outrage is directed.
If it is for the fact they are using the wrong flag, it is probably due to the fact that it would have been done last minute, and when looking at folded flags grabbing the one that is red/white/blue that isn't the US flag, I can understand the mistake (not that I condone it)
