I agree with you on this one. If you don't want to represent the US then don't go.
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me. And I'd gladly stand up, next to you and defender her still today. Because there ain't no doubt I love this land. God Bless the USA.

She was "set up". Haha
These people think way too highly of themselves that playing the anthem was a set up for a no name 3rd place women's track athlete.
Pathetic.

Pathetic.
What makes it crazier is the setup happened in such a conservative state like Oregon.

What is worse or is it equally as bad? A non violent protest by Gwen or using the flag violently against Capitol Police Officers on Jan 6th?

They're both terrible. You're pointing to extremes and we dont need extremes in our country.
Rosa Parks had a legitimate beef and great courage. This woman has neither.
Amen. This is a different ball of wax than the U.S. professional players, IMO, regardless of where you stand on that. If you are a U.S. Olympian, you represent our country and our flag. Period.
Guess what, it isn't 1968. If you don't think there has been substantial racial progress across-the-board in this country since then, I don't know what to tell you. This was a selfish, narcissistic, "look at me", attention-grabbing, meaningless, virtue signaling act.
I don't understand this. What happened in D.C. on January 6th was a disgrace. Shameful. But what does that have anything to do with what this clown did the other day?
Nothing. It's what-aboutism from our favorite "non-partisan" poster.
It’s funny how literally everyone here and practically everywhere else has denounced the 1/6 idiots who stormed the capital and caused destruction and violence
but left holds onto it to try to lump every Republican in that batch
skittles and unicorns
You've lost this argument...biggly. You may want to take your Twitter account and go home while you're ahead.

Well the part about everyone denouncing it is false. Fox opinion clowns are pushing that the FBI led the charge lol. But yes, everyone on this board has denounced those idiots from that day.
Or every independent/democrat -- because I've voted for D's plenty in my lifetime (more than R's probably) -- who has common sense.
