Psaki: Biden Respects Olympian Who Turned Her Back On US Flag During National Anthem… | Weasel Zippers "Why do we have athletes representing America who don’t like America?"
Is Olympian Gwen Berry's Disgraceful 'Athlete Activism' Productive?
Who knew the United States had an Olympic women’s hammer throwing team? Who cares what the Bronze winner thinks? Taking a page from the Kaepernick-Rapinoe Woke Sports Playbook, the third-place winner of a “sport” no one has heard of is successfully making waves for her lack of loyalty to the country that sent her to the U.S. Olympic trials. In what is probably a publicity stunt, a black hammer-throwing athlete (I’m not using her name) decided to snub the U.S. flag after taking the bronze medal in her sport. Look for her next year peddling Subway sandwiches or Woka-Cola.
A Tale Of Two Olympic Activists (clashdaily.com) . . . "There are some factors that should be noted in regards to both situations:
- Berry was not set up, given the statement by the USA Track and Field spokesperson.
- When standing on the podium when the national anthem is being played, you respect that flag, especially since you are representing your country.
- If Berry is disappointed in her country, then she should not be pursuing her dreams of being in the Olympics.
- Systematic racism in America is a myth.
- America is not a fascist nation.
- Joking on social media about “exploding” the President’s head might result in you being investigated by the Secret Service.
- With Biden in the White House, one might think that both Berry and Wolfe would be focusing more on being athletes and less on being activists.
- It’s unlikely that flag-burning is allowed at the Olympics.
- An athletic event is no place for politics, no matter what the political climate is.
- "Bottom line: Keep politics out of the Olympics."
