        According to the Flag Code, it’s also disrespectful to have the flag on apparel. But people ain’t gonna look at that w/ the same nonsense.

        Unfortunately, it is legal, as athletics are considered a privilege not a right.

        Seems like you can differentiate the cases. No expulsion threatened in this case. This might be an open question

        It's possible. I don't read the majority opinion to limit specifically to expulsion. An argument could be made there but I think it is weak.

        You could be right I don't know this area well. But it seems like the obvious argument for them to make . . . at first glance at least.
