The issue is that this is the flag of a brutal dictator every bit as evil as the current regime. Flying this flag isnt a protest against tyranny, its a call for a different flavor of tyranny.
The match started with a lot of visible pre-revolutionary flags visible from TV broadcast. But as the match went on they started disappearing. Security was confiscating them. At least the ones broadcast TV view.
