The fact that some people here are actually defending Madonna on this Because disrespecting a country's culture and traditions is okay, right? It's even more unsettling when y'all are treating this as something so trivial. Respect other cultures, just because it's different from yours does not mean it's any lesser than yours.

wearing a stupid flag on her shoulders is disrespecting? Girl bye!

I don't understand why people are so pressed over A FLAG, so sensitive over dumb stuff.

Like what I said before, what's sacred and respected in one country is different from your country's. You don't get why people are so pressed over a flag because you're obviously not from there, so what makes you think it's okay for you to say an aspect of a country's tradition is dumb or overly-sensitive?



Even if she didn't wear it as a costume, the Philippine flag is not something you parade around like that, or touch the floor. It's abhorrent. Is it that hard to grasp the concept that if you're in a certain country, you respect that country's traditions?

so every olympic player who carries the flag should be banned, too?

or just madonna? as usual?

You're really equating Madonna, an American woman, who happens to have a concert in the Philippines, dragging the flag around with not regards to it whatsoever to a Filipino Olympic athlete who's representing the nation? Girl...

It's not even a Madonna issue. I could care less if it was Madonna or Beyonce or whoever, it's just that people seem to look down on other people's cultures just because it's not theirs or it's not familiar to their own.

This has absolutely nothing to do with culture, its about a law that protects the state symbols, hun. But the thing is that Madonna was not wearing the flag as a costume, so she didnt violate the law. Filipino people including foreign fans of their teams do the same thing when they attend a game, celebrate a national day etc. So take your fake concerns and
