New Glory For Old Glory

We cats pretty much ignored the Nike-Betsy Ross flag fracas, didn't we? There was too much squabbling about it, and by the time we thought about joining in, any comment we would have made had already been said. We're not sure, though, why anyone would wear any kind of American flag on a shoe. That's mighty close to the dirty ground, you know. Doesn't sound appropriate.

Then again, people are lax about such things, even wearing Old Glory on their butts — ugh. We're not flag wavers (in fact, in our book, you can burn it if you want), but flag-themed jeans, shorts, leggings and dungarees are beyond the pale. And in case you haven't noticed, the folks who parade around in them are usually notorious about other people showing respect.

But donning the flag as a Women's World Cup champion? Now, that we condone. Congratulations, US National Women's Team! May you wear the flag proudly all your lives. We cats PURR.
