I actually like the flags. Not for aesthetics; the blue Alberta one is especially terrible. At least the Canadian Flag is color coordinated.
The reason I like them is sports in inherently about tribalism and community building. It's about identifying with people and they bring people together.
Not in any way discussing any specific politics or to the extent I support or disagree with any party or position, but I (perhaps romantically) thing it is a positive thing if people are reminded that Calgary is located in Alberta which is located in Canada - regardless of where in Canada they live. So many things remind us of why we are different, its nice to be reminded of what we have in common.
