Washington Redskins fullback Mike Sellers apologized for throwing the American flag to the ground during introductions before Friday’s exhibition game against the New England Patriots. “I meant no disrespect,” he said. The Redskins last year began a routine in which the last person introduced runs out of the tunnel hoisting the flag. Sellers carried the flag to midfield, then flung it down near the 50-yard line. Linebacker Robert Hanson removed the flag from the turf. “I made a mistake by setting it down the way I did, and I apologize if I offended anybody out there,” Sellers said. The Associated Press
