No problem with their flag being displayed after they won a great race just that it looked lonely without our flag being shown at the same time. I noticed it but kept quiet because today was about the people who defended our flag with their life. The Blue Jays with the Canadian Anthem and flag being flown was strictly to illustrate that with planning respect to both countries can be achieved. I believe they were respected properly but possibly they did that on their own by just grabbing their flag and taking off to display it.
