Flags
Supporters of different football teams are buying and displaying the national flags of the respective countries. But unfortunately, most of these football admirers are reluctant to show proper respect to the flags. Many of them keep the flags hoisted at evening and night, some even keep the flags outside during thunderstorms. Moreover, some dim-witted tailors are making flags with their own-invented length-width ratios, patterns and writings. All of these activities demonstrate utter disrespect to the countries concerned.
The national flag is the symbol of freedom and sovereignty of a country. Disregarding the flag of a country means humiliating its independence and liberty.
I hope the supporters will realize the importance of this issue and make a little more effort to ensure proper respect to the national flags of other countries.
