I think he just got caught up in the moment. If he had a history of saying or doing similar stuff, I could see the outrage. He's already made an apology and explanation.
Some of y'all just have an uncontrollable need to complain about others. Maybe work some more fiber into your diets or something.

I might be more sensitive about the flag than anybody else here. I've been to over 500 funerals for veterans since joining the Patriot Guard Riders, and it just means a lot to me how that flag is treated. It's covered a lot of heroes. That said, I think this young man just got caught up in the moment and had a momentary lapse. He did apologize after it happened. I'll accept that. Maybe the US Olympic folks should at least teach these kids how to handle something like this when they win while representing the USA.

I have an older brother who was wounded doing 2 tours in Vietnam and another who was a lifer in the Air Force. A lot of good men have fought and died defending everything that flag represents. I do appreciate him apologizing for dragging it in the snow though.

Why try to drag down one of the athletes who has always represented the US positively for years. He just pulled the performance of the night out of thin air, won a gold medal, is celebrating in the moment and people complain because he drug the flag. He kinda had a lot of things going on at that particular moment, cut him a little slack.

It was a mistake, he got caught up in the moment and he apologized. I dont think he did it intentionally, though.
Completely different than protesting the flag, too.
