The Old Media will make something out of this I'll bet. Play up the athletes being warned, how bad our reputation is amoung the rest of the world (no matter how disreputable they are).
I hope that most of the athletes decide to tell the rest of the world to go suck eggs and proudly show our flag. The country will remember those that do for a long time. Those that don't won't be remembered past the next week.

I would not watch the Olympics, even if you positioned nude women holding beers in their hands and balancing a third one on their heads in front of my plasma screen. No way.
Now that's a great thought - maybe our athletes will have more nerve and patriotism than the weenies who recommended they NOT wave the flag.
