However, IMO, desecrating the American flag was enough to justify
a DQ. IMO, that's intolerable and merited some punishment.

Let me say I am not an Ike fan and I think he's emotional, but also a fake,
who seems to check for a camera's presence before he lets out a scream.

But let's not overplay the desecration card. There is no doubt that that was
not deliberate, it was an accidental by-product of his little tantrum. I'm
not an attorney like you are, but I know that intent is a major factor in
the law. There is no way in hell he intended to desecrate that flag.

Any punishment, IMHO, should be based on what he did or didn't say on camera
and destruction of property, not what happened with the flag.
