I still remember back in 2008 when some people made a ruckus because Obama didn't wear a flag pin 24/7.

It's a sign of respect. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter at all but you're kinda "supposed" to do it for the anthem.

I'm not american but from what i gather it's more important to stand then putting your hand over your heart.

It's understandable. I'm sure people have used it to claim Trump didn't respect the flag. Doesn't mean we can't make jokes about it, though.

True. If people kneel with intent to respect the flag, then no one should have a problem with that.

The idea of respecting a flag is weird too. Patriotism is weird. No country is supreme, and we definitely aren't the best.

Was that a sarcastic question? It's not whether we agree that it shows respect. It's the idea that we HAVE to do it that way, upon command.
