Since “disrespecting the flag” is still the narrative being used, this courtesy of the US Flag Code Chapter 10: Respect for flag

A Thread
Let’s jump right in...

US Flag Code: Chapter 10.176C

“The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.”
US Flag Code: Chapter 10.176D

“The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.”
Here’s a popular violation

US Flag Code Chapter 10.176I

“The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever.”
US Flag Code Chapter 10.176I (pt 2)

“It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like...”
US Flag Code Chapter 10.176I (pt3)

“...or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard.”
Since it’s Saturday...

US Flag Code Chapter 10.176J

“No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.”
Not covered in the “Respect for Flag” section; standing/kneeling/sitting. That’s considered a conduct violation, not disrespectful.
Nothing in the Flag Code explicit states you have to stand, just that you “should.” All the things I listed were outlined as disrespectful.
So yanno, if you want to point your anger at the flag being disrespected anywhere... the mirror might be the best place to start. Fin
