how about this. you have two choices -- the flag of your country of citizenship, or the american flag.

OK, I don't know if I should make that out as a racist comment or a derogatory comment against gangs. They should conform to what a "35 year old white man" does? I have a number of friends who "rock their hats" at an angle. Does that make them gangsters?
Not gangsters, but degenerates. I wonder how many people would "rock" their hat if they weren't bombarded by MTV and rappers doing it. It's like follow the leader, except the leader is someone who advocates killing and prostitution. They are trying for an image, an unwholesome one.

That's funny, OUR leader advocates getting stone drunk, and so do his daughters... Every leader has a bad side, and a good side.

Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey

then you my friend, by playing golf, advocate discrimination - and are trying for an image, a very sanctimonious one.
maybe if you had any knowledge of the music, the culture and the precedents - you wouldn't be so ignorant when referring to it.
but whatever, keep on keepin on.
give bill o'reilly my best.

What dont you like about the US? I see you obviously dont hate it enough to not live here If you dont like the president, remember that he is only one head of the US and I think Id rather have Bush then that nut job in Korea.

Oddly enough you have Miguel Cabrera wearing his hat the same way as your avatar. So what are you, racist? Plus only a few rappers advocate killing (AKA Tupac, but he got killed )

Still doesn't solve the problem...suppose a handful of players choose not to wear any flag. If that were to be the case, they would become targets. Nope, mat, it just doesn't wash. You wear the uniform of your team and that's it. You can wear anything you want under the uniform, but the outward appearance is strictly uniform. Forcing someone to comply or feel the wrath of those who don't see eye to eye with him...well, that's just not American, or at least it's not supposed to be.
