LabattBlue Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 What a slap in the face to those who have served in the military. Someone get the Packer organization a book on flag etiquette. Even worse, they have incorrectly flown it at half mast before. Why not fly your Packer flag at half mast instead you morons. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nf...flag-flap_x.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 What's next? The flying the flag at half mast when the last bologna sandwhich got wolfed down at the Ralph? Veterans, your feelings on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmate Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I revere the flag and still get goosebumps watching a flag get raised in the morning when I drive by the courthouse on my way to work. With that said, everything the flag stands for says the Packers can fly the flag at half mast when they believe it is appropriate. I personally like flag etiquette and that it should only be flown at half mast for civilians upon an order of the governor or president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're trying to respect one of their own. If they're a bit overzealous in that, I'm sure it isn't done to disrespect anyone. I hate the fact that they keep calling him the leader in all time sacks HE IS NOT..BRUCE SMITH IS 183534[/snapback] You shouldn't hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same thing in basketball, where most people know that Bill Russell is the all-time leader in blocked shots even though that stat wasn't kept during his career.

Even after the moron was told that it was incorrect, he said that he will do what he wants. Like I said, fly the Packer flag at half mast, but don't F*** with the American Flag.

Just Jack Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 My opinion, and yes I know about flag etiquette, is if the Packers want to fly it at half mast, then okay. But if the NFL decrees that every team fly theirs at half mast, they would open a can of worms. Because then every time a former NFL player dies, they would be expected to fly it half mast also.

Just Jack Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Flag Etiquette My brothers and I always get a kick out of this: The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard Think about all those July 4th picnics you've been to where someone has paper plates and napkins with the flag on them. That's also wrong according to flag etiquette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel4real Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 The packers have flown the flag at half staff MANY times. When Favres father died, when other members of the team or orginazation have died. Pipe down with all the ediqoute crap. do you see every flag with a light constantly on it? Does a color gaurd burn every american flag when it becomes worn? Does every american flag out there NEVER touch the ground? Yea, I am sure the Packers are the ONLY orginazation not to follow every Ediquote rule... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
