Olympic Athlete Turns Her Back on the US Flag as Star Spangled Banner Played

[VolStrom]

Another shining example of people that want everything from the US but hate it in return.

Gwen Berry turns away from flag at US Olympic trials and says she was ‘set up’

Did you try, you know, reading the article?

Just seems counterintuitive to me....Hey wanna join Team USA? Sure.
Protest nation is getting so old.

Yep. Pretty vague. Just typical, someone somewhere got screwed....so I hate America. And oh yeah, Trump was president so throw that into my moaning as well.

Oh well, she was third. So she didnt even make first loser status.

Sorry, I don't really give a **** what a hammer thrower does during the Anthem in Olympic trials.

Good for her.

Yep. Two white ladies finish first and second and she finishes third. Protesting the obvious systematic racism of not being better than the other two.

You don't GAS about your country either apparently. Move to some crap hole country in the southern hemisphere where opportunities abound then. Pick a country in South America or Africa that you think is better than the US. I'd like to hear which one that is.

So much butthurt. Lol.

I can get behind kneeling. I can't get behind turning your back. That's just... No.

Sad times.

The 1st amendment says hello. A great thing about America is citizens have the right to speak freely without fear of persecution. You need some thicker skin.

I agree people like this want the money and fame that comes from being on the team then want to turn around and be an embarrassment. It would be the same thing as a football player etc make it all about himself to the detriment of the rest of the team. She is stupid to believe of all the nations at the Olympics the USA represents racism.

It is not surprising to see progressives defend this like it's a badge of honor.

She probably won't medal anyway but intends on being a nuisance.

The Oympics supposed to bring a nation together, not divide it. This is not the 1960's civil rights issue so she looks like an idiot.

No they don’t.

 

[BreatheUT]

No they don’t.

Exactly. The IOC said there will be no demonstrations.

That’s freedom from being arrested….. not freedom from people being pissed at her.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

No they don’t.

Peaceful protest is a form of assembly and is protected under the constitution.

No, Americans are promised free speech without fear of reprisal from the government. It says nothing about speech free from consequences from your fellow citizens.

Thats the irony. Those freedoms are what makes this country great.

You are free to do it but you aren’t free from repercussions.
