You presume it was the wrong flag.
Given the NK record, it could be the wrong size, meaning its not larger than Columbias.

it is a 2 part kerfuffle. the SK flag was shown on the monitor and NK is protesting that the SK flag was flying over the stadium, along with every country flag.
I'm thinking they are delaying their quad-annual face palm moment on the world stage.

They know what will happen if they fail to bring home gold. Their rice rations will be cut in half from 2 grains to 1.

I'm sure MaoBama will expect our athletes to refuse play if they get our flag wrong too...

Not that I know of. I’m firewalled. :-(
It’s on in the break room so I can sneak a peek now and then, but that’s about it.

No offense meant to you personally Berlin_Freeper, but if I wanted to hear about Olympic drama, I’d tune in nightly to get gorged on it.
My attitude this year is like it has been for the last five Olympics..., “What Olympics?”

Why post on a thread if you’re not interested in the subject matter?
Do you think that your disinterest in the Olympics is going to hold the thread spellbound?

Seems to me that my thoughts on the Olympics are as valid as anyone elses.
Perhaps your copy of the Second Amendment reads different than mine.

It’s actually funny you mentioned that. I’ve been reading and posting on several Second Amendment threads today, and that popped out by mistake. I was posting to another poster on another thread just now, and it hit me what I had done.
I was on my way back over to mention the mistake and correct myself, when I say your comment.
Of course, you are right. I appreciate the mention.

To: PalmettoMason; All
Folks PalmettoMason pointed out a mistake I made earlier, and I’d like to acknowledge it and apologize for the error.
In post 15 on this thread while addressing a free speech issue, I wrote (in part):
“Perhaps your copy of the Second Amendment reads different than mine.”

This was obviously a First Amendment issue. I apologize for the mistake. I had been reading and discussing a Second Amendment issue, and that amendment popped out here without my giving it proper consideration.
Oops!
