Flak Day

June 14th is Flag Day® - aka National Flag Day - in the United States. Isn't every day Flag Day in the United States?

That's like National Beer Day in Germany ;o)

Except:

During last Saturday night's baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the L.A. Dodgers, at Dodger Stadium®, a security guard attempted to confiscate a Canadian flag from a fan, Lee Fraser, a native of Pembroke, Ontario.

Upon entering the ballpark, he was warned by Dodger security not to wave the flag. He said he was permitted to hold it up during the national anthem.

During the sixth inning, the Dodgers loaded the bases with two out. Toronto pitcher Shaun Marcum got L.A. slugger Luis Gonzalez to pop up to end the inning. Fraser stood up and began waving his flag.

"The security guard ran up and said, `Get that flag down,'" Fraser recalled. "They tried to confiscate my flag."

Flag waving "causes the fans, at times, to become aggressive toward each other." I guess he means American fans. "It's a zero tolerance policy," Dodgers vice-president of stadium operations Lon Rosenberg said, adding that the same rule would apply to the U.S. flag. Banners featuring the L.A. Dodger logo are exempt.

Would this have happened on (National) Flag Day?
