I noticed today while watching college football that all of the officials are wearing an American Flag patch on they shirts. I am a procatical man if anything, and I can't find any practical reason for having an American Flag on their shirts.
If this were international competition and you had officials from several different countries then it would make sense for each official to identify their origin.
Here you have American College Football. No foreign officials or even players.
Putting American Flags on officials shirts is nothing more than a feel-good display of nationalism. Are we really that insecure that we have to go to these ridiculous lengths to show that we're proud to be Americans? It actually makes us look like a bunch of idiots.
I wish the insanity were ending in the next election but I'm sure it'll be more of the same.
