Pete,

"All she did was turn away from the flag. Its not that she is showing disrespect for the flag, she is refusing to be forced to display "respect" for the flag."

First I think it is being disrespectful to the flag. If she is refusing to be forced to show respect then she should do that by not being apart of the ceremony. Go to the locker room or something till the game starts. What she is doing is making a public display of disrespect by turning her back.Almost to the point of making an obscene gesture in my opinion.
