Us Weekly reported that a source confirmed former track and field superstar Caitlyn Jenner will appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated wearing "nothing but an American flag and her Olympic medals."

It's the first time she'll pose with the medal since completing her gender transition in 2015.

From the U.S. Flag Code: (d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.

It would be sad to me to see a former Olympic medalist wearing the flag, or otherwise disrespecting it. While I'm sure she means no disrespect, the only person who should ever wear a flag is someone who dies protecting it.
