....that won gold fairly easily.

You forgot that part.

BTW...the woman thought to be the greatest gymnast in history is on this team.

I guess PC is working out fine.

No, it's the most talented in history. See what diversity can do? When you don't artificially hold people down because of things that are of no import it allows the best to rise to the top no matter their color, ethnicity or religion.

Well done, ladies!

I said, "One nation, Indefensible..." instead of "under god, indivisible..." LOL - I've no idea why it came out that way. I caught myself and carried on.
Thank Gawd you did not say you " short- circuited".

What a surprise, the same people who cry and moan about everything being PC are crying and whining about this. How rich.

And the PC and Black Panther comments...well, ignorance with some knows no bounds.

I believe it was just an oversight on her part. I will automatically give her the benefit of the doubt.

I'm so excited to watch Simone go for individual gold.

It's not a requirement for one to put their hand over their chest during the National Anthem, it's only required when reciting The Pledge. But I'm sure the 'real' American patriots know that, right?
