I heard the American Womens team had the canadian flag on the floor of there dressing room after the game... if thats true then if the canadians had done that with the american flag they coulda got arrested... or some poopoo like that because isn't it a felony to have the american flag on the ground?

Since it's not illegal to burn the American flag I don't think having it on the ground would get you jailed. Personally I think defacing any countries flag should be grounds for some sort of punishment.

Is it okay to let the Canadian flag touch the floor or ground, or use it as a table drape or cover?

Answer: No


Source: The Canadian Encyclopedia Plus and the federal Department of Canadian Heritage

And

"The Americans had our flag on their floor in the dressing room and now I want to know if they want us to sign it. We are so happy."

The second quote there is a little confusing but it still means the flag was on the floor...

And Finally

quote:

DO NOT
ยท Let the U.S. flag touch the ground.


EDIT: Although these sites say its not illegal they do say its basic proper respect... and i think it doesn't make your country/team look good.

Hats off to Team Canada, they played a great hockey game tonight. Personal i think they just out worked the Americans.

Richter was stellar in goal or the score might have been 8-2

First hockey gold for the boys up north in 50 years. Way to go.

I dunno how is it in Canadian English, but I don't think it's 'womens and mens', maybe 'women and men' or 'women's and men's' tipsy

Super game. Both teams played hard. Canada definitely outworked the US and didn't make any mistakes that the US could capitalize on.

Huh... Who cares how we spelt it. You still know what we were trying to say. Also, there is not much difference between American and Canadian English. Infact no major differnces come to mind except maybe how we spell words like Color/Colour. I could be wrong however but its not like its a totally different language unless your thinking about french in which case i do not speak it. laugh laugh laugh
