Fencing? Who even watches that lol.

I suppose he could use the publicity to hype himself.

The U.S. men’s foil team emerged victorious at the Pan American Games in Peru on Friday, earning gold medals for fencers Race Imboden, Gerek Meinhardt and Nick Itkin.

After the team received its gold medals, Imboden took a knee on the medal podium as the national anthem played.

No one said he couldn't but this just shows his disrespect for the country he is from and is suppose to represent. Actually says more about his misguided beliefs than anything else.

His beliefs pushed him to be a WINNER. I thought that is all we care about now, Win at all cost.

If he hates USA then he’s free to play for another country he likes better.

His physical ability pushed him to be a winner not his political beliefs. He could have believed in fairy tales and still won.
