ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins fullback Mike Sellers apologized Saturday for throwing the American flag to the ground during lineup introductions before an exhibition game against the New England Patriots.
"I meant no disrespect," he said.
The Redskins last year began a routine in which the last person introduced before a game runs out of the tunnel hoisting the American flag. Sellers carried the flag to midfield, then flung it down near the 50-yard line before joining his teammates in a midfield huddle. Linebacker Robert Henson removed the flag from the turf.

bad juju in the brewing?
Time for Joe Gibbs to go all racing all the time.. where they know how to handle a flag.
Right. /s
That prediction's about as likely as Campbell's success ...
Tony Romo, rating: 91.4
Jason Campbell, rating: 84.3
Romo is my favorite QB
Wins me so much money in the early part of the season when has success, and even more when he chokes in December and January
I see more of the same from Mr. Romo. 80 percent of his production in the first 2 months of the season, and when the games actually mean something he’ll choke them away again
One thing I love to mention to my Cowgirl fan friends
The last time the ‘Girls won a playoff game was December 28th, 1996
I was in 9th grade
I got my masters in May of 2008 :)
Get ready for wave after wave of G-men stomping Campbell and Tony Homo into the ground. Osi, Tuck, Kiwi, Canty, Stintim, Evans etc...
He spiked the flag?!?
I think he threw the flag, perhaps revealing his “inner referee”.
eh? Obama & Ma Belle will be... 
so proud!
You can watch it happen twice this fall :-)
Or Rocky Blier..Pittsburgh Steeler and Vietnam war Vet.
That’s disrespectful as well.
Having said that...
Personally, I don’t believe in holy symbols.
I’m not really bothered by what people do with flags.
Not.
It should be removed ... immediately.
And, as a US Air Force officer, Sam Carter should know better.
;’}
It’s part of The Snyder Curse.
Yeah, that's a Niner jersey. Surely not a relative of yours. LOL!
