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

[Thunder Good-Oil]

At football games, the players are not on their own time. The owners have chosen to allow them to protest. That's on the owners. I disagree with protesting while you're basically on the clock. Not sure what you think you know about me, but that's my chief gripe. Whether you're a professional or Olympic athlete, what they're doing amounts to protesting on someone else's dime. Why do you think I keep calling for them to do it on their OWN time? Why do most of them, not all but it seems most, not do more on their OWN time? You don't get paid to protest. Most people would get fired for bringing their politics to work in such a way. So why do we create a completely different standard for athletes? I don't care what their motivation is because they make a mockery of what they claim to stand for by participating in such a double standard. I believe in some of the same causes, but I do not support how they protest.

It’s not NFL “owners” you uncouth dolt. NFL “governors” is what the Woke prefer.

Dude, it just recently became ultra cool to hate the country. Cut her some slack.

I said earlier her actions don’t really move the needle on anything and she’ll quickly be forgotten when she walks away without a medal, but boy, what an about face!

Anthem protest Olympian Gwen Berry is sponsored by activist group trying to Defund NYPD

Olympic athlete Gwen Berry — who sparked outrage by turning away from the US flag during the national anthem while on the winner’s podium — is being sponsored by an activist group that is also fighting to defund the NYPD.

“We’re proud to sponsor @MzBerryThrows,” tweeted Color of Change, a “leading racial justice organization driven by more than 7 million members who are building power for Black communities.”

The group said it was also proud to have “negotiated a sponsorship” with Puma for the controversial hammer thrower as well as “continue to push corporations to support Black athletes who speak out for our communities.”

The group also used Berry’s case to push a petition calling to overrule an Olympic rule banning “athletes from kneeling, raising their fists, or wearing signs or symbolic armbands.”

Olympian Gwen Berry's problematic tweets unearthed amid anthem uproar

 

[NorthDallas40]

There’s always a tweet

 

[landscapingvol]

So brave

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Tweeted the “R-word”. I wonder if she supports the Special Olympics.

Tweeted the “R-word”. I wonder if she supports the Special Olympics.

It’s where she should be competing based off of her IQ level. The “Star Spangled Banner” didn’t become the National Anthem until after WWI, long after Francis Scott Key wrote his poem. He didn’t write the National Anthem. He wrote a poem that had parts of it later used as the anthem.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

While I disagree with our Olympic athletes using the games for protests I think that the fact they can do it without fear of government reprisal shows what a great example we are.

It also shows what soft entitled pussies we are.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Whether or not it was her motivation, she will be representing our country on an international stage. It isn't a lot to ask for her to either look at or at least pretend to look at the flag of the country she's representing while the anthem is being played.

On a closing note, who exactly do you think she stuck it to with this protest? From my perspective, the only people she stuck it to are the two she finished behind by making herself the center of attention.

Hopefully she won't be anywhere near a podium where it is being played so it won't be a problem.

She will be given a pass by the left and still be a “hero”, as if they know wtf one is. That’s why I don’t gaf about the left’s opinion. Had a feeling she was nothing more than a showboating hypocrite. I’ll be pulling for our other two girls that made the team. You know, the ones that finished FIRST and SECOND, not third.

'There's a lot of s**t I don't do like I did when I was 18 or 20': 'Activist-athlete' Gwen Berry tries to brush off history of racially charged tweets and compares herself to Brett Kavanaugh during his SCOTUS nomination

Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry has defended her history of racially-charged and offensive tweets and compared the controversy to the three decades-old allegations that surfaced against Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court nomination.

'Is that the best THEY could come up with?' Berry tweeted Saturday, sharing a link to a New York Post article about her past comments.

'I’ll just say I can relate to the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the USA Brett Kavanaugh and agree, there’s a lot of s**t I don’t do like I did when I was 18 or 20.'

The majority of the tweets uncovered are more than ten years old, but Berry was competing for the United States on the national stage
