What about the flag sticker? Why is that necessary. We spent how many weeks discussing LT’s helmet and if he did/didn’t wear it but I don’t recall a discussion of whether the flag being on the helmet is even relevant. Don’t we all know we’re in America? Why has the American flag become de facto on the backs of NFL and NCAA (and some HS) helmets?</em> Personally, I can't understand why they took the flags off of the jerseys in MLB. I belive that every pro sports team based in the United States should have the flag somewhere on its uniform. Canada's teams should carry their own flag. 3. What about the flag sticker?
