Maybe it's just me but I really do not care to see our athletes wear the flag as if it's a beach towel. It's disrespectful in my opinion.
And I know that some people think they are fine but (again, in my opinion) a tongue piercing detracts from an otherwise attractive face.
I hear ya on the flag, some just get exuberant, others do it just because it's the thing to do, I think it is over the top and shows a certain level of basic respect.
Speaking of tongue piercings, the Aussie gal who won the hurdles looked like a nice wholesome gal...till she opened her mouth wide...
Really, a pierced tongue...swell...
