Although at games held in the US, other countries are still expected to dip their flag in mutual respect, America is the only country refusing to return the gesture. This originated from the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, where countries, as historically done, dipped their flag to the head of state in whose country they were guests: the team was dominated by anti-British Irish-Americans and started the tradition of not showing respect by dipping a flag whilst participating in international games abroad. For a full in depth explanation of the history of this 'tradition' see http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/JOH/JOHv7n3/JOHv7n3i.pdf
