I actually did notice that. I was happy for his victory (although I thought it kind of crappy that the dude who was leading going into the final run didn't get to go last), but I was a bit disappointed in his treatment of the flag.
I just happened to sit down when White got to take the last run. It was pretty cool. Guy was overwhelmed with emotion.. anyone who wants to give him shit about the flag can suck it.
I watched it too. If you can't be happy for him winning and need to complain about an excited guy winning a gold medal, then just fucking die already, because your heart already has.
How else are you supposed to carry your board and a giant unfolded flag? I hate that we live in a world where that was even a story.
I think it's kind of funny how the US basically sucks at the Winter Olympics so they create a new sport "Snowboarding" so they can win some medals. On all the real skiing and snow events we pretty much blow. We can't even place in ski jump or Sled events. Then you have cross country skiing which we seem to fall down alot at. Do we even have a curling team? I think the US has a chance to get a women's medal in the downhill this year don't they? What is the chances in Hockey?
Ben Ferguson from Bend? I did see that and did not know that, makes it extra cool. He laid down a really food final run
Hello, Mikaela Shiffrin has a very decent chance to win 5 medals in skiing, shes the best in the world right now, Lindsay Vonn is still around and has medal chances as well
I don't think it was done on purpose...he was out of it However, the Flag is something we need to be cautious with and never disrespected!
I agree that the flag should never be intentionally disrespected. However, no need to be too cautious with it. It's just a flag.
