The 'golden girl' of 1988 hired to help today's athletes behave

What is the general opinion here on this subject. Personally I'm all for it. I remember when I was living in Europe and the many times I was absolutely embarassed by my fellow countrymen. There is indead a fine line between justifiable pride in ones country/nationality and the abject stupidity we see far too often.

Brokaw: Apparently in some quarters back home, there's discussion about, grab that flag and wave it, and don't be ashamed of who you are, and so on. But it's a very fine line, isn't it?

Evans: There is nothing like swimming and looking up in the stands and just seeing American flags or having them play your national anthem and sing the words to the Star Spangled Banner. But then there are security issues. This is the world we're living in and if I were an athlete, I would be a little more safe. I'd probably wear less, you know, USA clothing -- not to say I wouldn't wear USA athletic clothing -- but I'd just be a little more subdued outside of the village and the Olympic venues.

Our War President has made the world safe for freedom & democracy and caused us to be loved 'round the world? Or, am I mistaken?
