I dont know about where you lived, but I live in the Northeast and during the World Cup I stayed in my hometown (ny), traveled to Ohio, Boston, and Connecticut.
In all four of these areas I saw sooo many different flags! Italian flag (ESPECIALLY after they won), French flag, Polish flag, Brasilian flag, German flag. And I know for a fact a lot of these people putting up the flags were citizens.
Would you (who get offended by Mexicans [not just illegal immigrants, all Mexicans] putting up their flag) be offended by this?
Personally, I think it is okay to represent where your family is from and their heritage. Its great to represent this country, but lets face it, there is no such thing as a "pure" american. Our family history can all be traced back to something different, whether that is European, African, or Native American.
I do not think putting up other countrys' flags are wrong? Do you? And do you think these people putting up the flags for the World Cup are wrong as well
