If a Photographer used and America flag as a back ground?
I want to shoot a national title sports team against an American flag backdrop...
I've been told by one individual that they would be offended if I showed up to shoot the team and they were a parent/bystander and I took out an American flag and started to set it up on my background stands.
Anyone have any experience in this matter?

No. The use of a national flag for sports is very normal I think...

Would an American flag backdrop add anything to your image? Probably not as the colours are rather distracting from your subject.
And, if a some * likes to be offended, don't give him the opportunity. Why should you?

Judson,
I presume this is the American (US) team we're talking about - - I kind of expect it.

If it is indeed a picture of an American national team, no issue, otherwise I think that it would just be a disturbing element in the picture, attracting the attention while not being the main subject...
