After some confusion, the U.S. Olympic Committe has a message for its athletes: Go ahead and wave the flag.
Because of security issues in Athens, the war in Iraq and the recent prison abuses there, much of the USOC’s preparations for the games have centered on keeping athletes safe. But the USOC also wants U.S. athletes to keep from making things worse with the kind of arrogant behavior that has surfaced in recent years.
That includes sprinter Jon Drummond’s tantrum at last year’s world track championships, and the strutting, flag-waving display put on the victorious men’s 400-meter relay team at the 2000 Sydney Games.
