Allie Long, Megan Rapinoe Drop American Flag During World Cup Celebration

[Ubiquitous]

U.S. women’s national soccer team members Allie Long and Megan Rapinoe
stepped on an American flag after Long dropped it on the ground as they
posed for post-game photos Sunday.

Following their repeat World Cup win in Lyon, France, the team was
celebrating on the field and posing for photos when Long dropped the
flag she was holding. She and Rapinoe then stepped forward, leaving the
flag underfoot. They continued to pose for the cameras as one of their
teammates rushed forward to grab the flag.

Benghazi hero John “TIG” Tiegen spotted the dropped flag and responded
to the team via Instagram.

Crediting the original video to @Mikewishniausa, Tiegen added the
caption, “What should be an amazing occurrence, is hijacked by the
clown show to promote disrespect …”

Noting that the USWNT had likely given a briefing on proper flag
etiquette, Tiegen continued, “I know dragging it on the ground and
throwing it down like it’s a piece of paper isn’t part of that. It’s
not hard to hand it off and celebrate. Your coaching staff or trainers
are there to take it. Damn Amazing disrespect for a photo op. Thank you
to I think @kelleyohara for running in there and picking it up.”
