A hammer thrower turned away from the American flag and covered her head with a T-shirt that read “Activist Athlete” when the national anthem was playing during the Saturday U.S. Olympic track and field trials.
Gwen Berry, 31, qualified for the Olympic Games in Tokyo, having placed third on Saturday. On the podium, Berry took a quarter turn to face the stands, while the event’s winner DeAnna Price and the second-place finisher Brooke Andersen stood facing the flag, ESPN reported.
When the “Star-Spangled Banner” played, Berry put her left hand on her hip and shuffled her feet. Towards the end of the anthem, the Olympian put a shirt with the words “Activist Athlete” over her head, according to ESPN.
“I feel like it was a set-up, and they did it on purpose,” Berry complained about a 5-minute delay, which resulted in the anthem coinciding with her being on the podium. “I was pissed, to be honest.”
If you hate America so much just leave you dumb b*tch!
BeeeeYotch anti-american..should be kicked off the team and have her medals forfeited.
You entitled-acting cunt!
You represent the country internationally – do it with pride – or find another country…
We’ll help you pack…just GTFOH!
She is a communist pig
This asshole would NOT be traveling with the rest of the Olympians to the games this year. Biden is bad enough for our country but send someone over to the games that is doing this crap, I don’t think so. Qualified or not, definitely not qualified to be an American.
The damn World is now officially NUTS. A whackadoodle bitch who supposedly is representing the USA is a martyr for black awareness when these games are SUPPOSED to be unbiased in ANY manner. Political opinion is SUPPOSED to excluded and the true meaning of competitiveness is SUPPOSED to be the theme. If she’s carrying a damn cross for the blacks or anyone else then send her ignorant ass HOME. I DO NOT want to be represented by a militant who’s goal here is to impress the body of athletes with some BLM cause. I fault the IOC for this, I don’t care if she’s the hammer champ of the World. Instead of the throw, she should be catching the damn hammers and maybe one of them would knock some sense in her, yet, I doubt it.
This society is so mixed up now they DON’T have the MENTAL CAPACITY to separate factual occurrence from some pie in the sky crap that in the end run is so far out in left field it shouldn’t be dignified with a response. What a gaggle of losers we’ve cultivated, that is making the USA look stupid in the eyes of the World.
Naturally, the head bozo (Bidumb) is backing her 100% because whoever has their hand up his ass told him he should. No individuals anymore, just a crew of empty headed dupes without the mentality it takes to feed the chickens.
I’m curious to see where all this lands. 99% of government doesn’t have brains enough to identify a bucket of oats from a bucket that has already been through the horse. Mostly because they’re not in tune with reality.,as with the rest of the Country. Boy, are we screwed!
Like Ted Cruz said…there are 194 other countries you can compete for. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
A friggin moron, a hypocrite to ignorant and stupid to see the freedoms of being able to breathe the same air as patriots. She would rather bow and kneel to the the luciferian state of lies hate & intolerance.
She should be sent home since she despises her country and does not represent all of us!!!
The anti American actor should be disqualified and sent away, certainly not to America. If she wants to sign in for the country of her choice so be it, but she can’t act disrespectful towards America while representing America, the greatest nation on earth. Yes, still is though there is a lot of minds of mush and trash squatting here.
I’m cheering loudly for her to finish dead last among all competitors in her event.
Probably had a scholarship for free college; may have had some sponsorship along the way; etc. So much oppression! Hope she migrates to some country where she feels more at home.
Fire ALL those that cannot act appropiatley kick them off the team !!!!
Bet she is BLACK !!!
If the U.S. Olympic team doesn’t support the United States then they won’t get my support. Won’t watch on tv and I won’t but any products that support the U.S. Olympics
END the Racist bullshhht in sports !!!! Fire the ones that do it or allow it !!!!
The Olympics are this year?
(snicker snicker)
