When I was 4 I dropped a flag I was helping my dad to put up for some holiday. Dad told me the under-the-bed-monsters would get me. I slept for three nights with all the lights on. They never did come out, so I think it's not such a big deal. A simple "oops, really sorry" covers it most of the time, but the Olympics? Do people really need left hand pinkys?

He later apologized for that. I was watching on TV, and I honestly think he forgot he had it XD. Later during the metal ceremony you could tell he was proud of his country and his flag. And actually...I don't think it is flag etiquette to even use it to drape around the shoulders, but everyone does. Regardless, gotta love that run!

It's all good.
This incident will get Shaun White 50 Million worth of free publicity, and his publicist will get him on all the talk shows by spinning him into a victim, or something even better than a victim if there is such a thing, and his agent will use it to inflate the rates on all his endorsement deals and maybe even create a new Shaun White action figure that walks around dragging a flag behind him.
Olympic snow isn't white, it's GREEN!
Heck, if he says he did it on purpose, and he throws in a sprinkling of gender confusion, he could probably run for congress.
Seriously, I'm not mad at Shaun White, and I have little opinion on this... my only opinion is that the world runs on money, and I'm sure all of Shaun's people are quite happy about the extra attention.
