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

[NorthDallas40]

Out of curiosity where did the funding for this athlete’s training come from? I imagine she was at some point on college scholarship but once on the national team I believe there are federal funds for that? Assuming that’s the case why is she taking that money if she really wants to make a point?

Edit: so the Feds don’t pay for Olympic funding here one of few countries to not do so. I do not know if USTAF.org is privately funded also but I’d guess it is based on the Olympic funding sources.

Olympic Funding Often Reflects Country's Values

Jesse Owens showed Adolph Hitler and the world who he was.

This chick can't prove anything other than the fact that she's a butthurt entitled racist little ****. This time next year, no one will have any memory of her.

Well, hottie Nordic chicks whipping down the mountain at 60 does have alot of flavor.

Are you talking about "pre" or "post" trans dudes that think they're woman times?

Professional athletes have the right to be ignorant, entitled dumbasses if their respective league and team allows it. Amateur athletes representing our country should be kicked off for stuff like this.

I'd rather lose than have people that hate our nation competing for America!

The pros have always been in the games.

Not ours. And beating the Russians in 1980 is the greatest sports moment ever. I'll take 1 of those gold medals over all the gold medals the NBA clowns have won any day of the week.

No surprise here, the whitehouse and Joe Biden is wrong on everything they support.

Cant even come to a moment of national unity at an international spoting event. Effin sad.

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

Biden is confused as to why there’s an Olympic sport where women throw hammers at each other

 

[AirVol]

It was great until they let the pros in.

Did you hear about what Jalen Rose said the US having a white player on the team?

Maybe people should be reacting so much if they want any type of unity.

You pay them far too much attention.

The Babylon Bee:

"America stinks, and it has oppressed me my entire life," said Berry. "My qualification for the U.S. Olympic team is just another example of the long string of systemic injustices I have suffered at the hand of systemic white systems of Western cis-patriarchal oppression and the systems of hetero Christian male dominance and the... what was I talking about? Oh yeah-- America stinks and I'm oppressed!"

Berry says she hopes to share her inspiring message with young girls of color everywhere-- that they will never belong in America, be happy in America, or be free in America due to the color of their skin.

"I am disgusted with myself for representing this racist country in the Olympic games, but it was my only option since China doesn't really let black athletes compete. I look forward to the universal acclaim, Nike endorsement deals, and vast riches that are coming my way! Yay me! Also, did I mention I'm oppressed?"

Nike has applauded Berry's bravery and has offered her a $327 million endorsement deal and her own line of Uyghur-made clothing.
