Knew it.. So stupid and was unnecessary. I could honestly care less about what happens to a flag but there are people who get extremely mad at it and feel disrespected if something happens to it

I had a feeling that was coming. THAT is just an example of why WWE is better off to play it safe nowadays.

This is one of the reasons the Attitude Era wouldn't work today.

Yep.
Definitely saw that coming before Big Show had even pulled the thing down.

This is one of the reasons the Attitude Era wouldn't work today. And its ing stupid. I can't stand a "politically correct" apologize for everything society. I also believe this fits here

Oh brother. How does tearing down a flag require an apology, but insulting their country and government on a weekly basis does not?
(BTW, I don't think either is wrong, I just don't understand this at all.)

(BTW, I don't think either is wrong, I just don't understand this at all.) Most likely the fact that letting a country's flag touch the ground is seen as disrespectful. I'm not sure if the flag actually touched the ground or just the canvas of the ring but the grabbing it and throwing it down is what probably caused the apology.

Also, I'm still waiting on an apology for Shawn Michaels sticking the Canadian flag up his nose.

Ok...like I said, they verbally disrespect that country basically every time Rusev is on TV. So I still don't understand how literally disrespecting a country is somehow less offensive than symbolically disrespecting that country.

Don't apologize for something you clearly had planned to do before the jump.You clearly knew the consequences before doing this and you still did.Even though I truly don't think it's that big of a deal but whatever.

meanwhile other countries spit on and burn our flag,but he we have to be worried about how we treat everyone else's over here,especially in what is essentially a scripted television show?

They should apologize for the Hornswoggle dressed as a gator segment, as well.

I bet they had that statement prepared before the segment even started.

Ahh, the WWE just doing this to save face and be politically correct. Typical in today's society.
