Why was the American flag dipped during the 2008 Beijing Olympic opening ceremonies?
Why was the American flag dipped during the 2008 Olympic opening ceremony in violation of the flag code?
This tradition comes from the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, where countries were asked to dip their flag to King Edward VII: the American team captain Martin Sheridan refused, famously proclaiming that "this flag dips to no earthly king."
So why was it not held completely vertically in Beijing?
You are right,this is dissrespect for the flag. I believe they probably made us hold our flag like this,because we are not all saluting one flag,there was many flags and many countries,so none were all being saluted at once,if that somehow makes sense.
here is the flag code,if you want to read it,you may find why they did this:

Archie Gambles His Way Around The Thousand Wonders Of Our Tiny Troubled World
Archie will report back to you, reflecting upon travels, exploring each city and country as I come to it. Being a man of taste, I won’t hesitate to experience local specialities and there will always be time for a quick game or two!
So, I cordially invite you to join me each week; let me whisk you away to an exotic locale filled with mystery and intrigue, oh and of course fun and games!
London, England is where my expedition will begin: The staff at the Grand Hotel wished me a Bon Voyage as I climbed into the giant seats in the London black cab, the driver hauling my cases onto the seat next to me. I was flying from Gatwick so the cab journey was going to take some time, especially with the London rush hour traffic! I delved into my bag, pulled out a pen and notebook, and made a start on my reports!
The vibrant city of London, England’s capital city; has meant a lot to me over the years, it was where I grew up, where I worked, its my home. Let me introduce the wonderful city of London to you.
London can be traced back to the Roman period and is the proud home of the British Royal family, red buses, the tube, “bobbies on the beat”, the river Thames, The Tower fish and chips, cockney rebels and pearly kings and queens! It is also the epicentre of style, class and multiculturalism. Oh, and not forgetting (I maybe slightly bias here) the best pubs in the world! There’s nothing quite like sitting down on a quiet Sunday afternoon in your local public house, sipping on a pint of London’s finest ale and having a go on the fruit machine.
The fruit machine is the British public’s favourite slot machine and you’d be hard pressed to find a pub without one, or a television, showcasing either a horse race or football game, for that matter. When there is a match or a race the pub atmosphere is electric, everyone enjoying the sport and cheering can often be heard from the streets!
Gambling and sports betting has a rich history in England and even the monarchy enjoys a game or two and a flutter. For example Bertie, or King Edward VII as he was more formally known, was the playboy son of Queen Victoria, his passions were for the games baccarat and later bridge. Like Queen Elizabeth today Bertie also enjoyed horse races. The royals have been racing for well over a century. King Edward VII spent a lot of time at the track, placing bets and watching his own horse’s race, one of which, called Persimmon, won the Derby at Epsom! Nowadays Queen Elizabeth can often be spotted in the royal box watching the race in Ascot, Epsom or Newmarket.
Speaking of glamour, I too have had the pleasure of living it up with some rather special high rollers. In my youth, I spent a lot of my spare time dressed up to the nines, frequenting some of London’s finest nightclubs. Nightclubs then were not as they are now , they were a more… shall we say…civilized affaire. The clubs of Mayfair are where I discovered my love for baccarat and roulette, I also discovered something else there, the delight that are cigars! On one particular night, I went out with some friends to a new club on Regents Street called Eve. There we danced and indulged in malt whiskey, Cuban cigars and fine intellectual conversation, when from out of nowhere a familiar face walked past. It was none other than old blue eyes himself, if I were not such a man of such and understanding of etiquette, I would have spat out my drink all over the nice young lady in front of me! It just so happened that later that night I had the pleasure of meeting Frank and chatting over a drink and a game of cards - which of course he won! The Eve club still exists although it is very different from how it was when I went there, it has even moved location. People change and so do places but the legends always stay the same!
