When I first read the headline on Reuters, I thought it meant they had made a swastika formation on the field. Part of a WWII show, I was wondering what the big deal would be. Of course then I learn that they ran a flag across the field and did the whole thing on Rosh Hashana.

Of course, why wasn't anyone offended by the Japanese flag and tune? After all, they did attack us at Pearl Harbor. And since my grandfather served at Pearl Harbor, I can claim to be a little peeved by that portion. Of course, being offended at that is nowhere near as politically correct as being offended by a nazi flag.

I think folks should just get over it. It was a clever idea for a show.
