Excerpt: Athletes competing in the U.S. Olympic trials will be allowed to kneel during the national anthem, as well as participate in other “Racial and Social Justice Demonstrations,” according to new guidance from the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
Response: Opinion
I hope that any person watching an Olympic Event in
which our Flag is disrespected immediately flip to another station.
I know what you said. I was asking for clarification.
You said, in part, "People are recognizing the need to stand up to issues . . ." My question is, would you agree or disagree with a slightly more detailed comment: "Conservative people are recognizing the need to stand up to issues . . ." If yes, this means that you would support a wide range of political or social messages, ranging from BLM to the Thin Blue Line. If so, I would disagree, because I don't want ANY politics in the Olympics. But I'd also say, hey, we're all entitled to our opinions.
But if you said no; if you're in favor of liberal political expression on our national team but not conservative political expression, then I would regard you as a hypocrite.

I'm gonna go ahead and say you're safe in your assessment here. Poor Trobe.
Anyway, all this does is ensure that I won’t watch the Olympics. Is that what they wanted?
I really do think that's what they want. They want true Americans on the outside looking in. They want us to feel like we're 'missing' something. What they fail to realize is that once we are turned off of their woke, TV, Movies, Sports, Literature......we are D O N E. No longer paying attention or spending a dime.
