US Patriotism is no longer cool. Remember the high schools kids suspended for wearing American flag shirts.
Other countries like Jamaica & the UK? Their medal winners wrap the flag around themselves as they take their victory lap.
Classy moment. Usain Bolt was being interviewed. And he stopped as he heard the Star Spangled Banner being played as an American elsewhere in the arena was receiving a gold medal. You have to like when the athletes from other countries respect the flag and other medal winners.

I'd like it if the US had a more unified team look. Swimmers in various colored suits, gymnasts in all different colors as well.
They do all put on the Star Trek inspired grey sweatjackets for medal ceremonies - but given how ugly those sweatshirts are, I'm not sure that's a good thing.
