Why was the American flag dipped during the 2008 Beijing Olympic opening ceremonies?
Why was the American flag dipped during the 2008 Olympic opening ceremony in violation of the flag code?
This tradition comes from the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, where countries were asked to dip their flag to King Edward VII: the American team captain Martin Sheridan refused, famously proclaiming that "this flag dips to no earthly king."
So why was it not held completely vertically in Beijing?
You are right,this is dissrespect for the flag. I believe they probably made us hold our flag like this,because we are not all saluting one flag,there was many flags and many countries,so none were all being saluted at once,if that somehow makes sense.
here is the flag code,if you want to read it,you may find why they did this:
