This seems to suggest that, if a flag falls to the ground and is danced on, but nobody sees it, then all is well. This might not sit so well as an “apology.”

What did Wayne do wrong? He broke the flag code:
§8. Respect for flag
b. The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
e. The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way
