Does the IOC allow this stuff at the Olympics? It's going to get out of hand with political "statements" if they tolerate any of it.

They should. Simply tell the players they will forfeit their win and medal if they pull that crap.

That is the dilemma. The leftists should know a thing or two about this since they've whined about it all through the last presidency, and many of the left leaning CEO's of social media platforms have been successful in censoring it.

Not sure what the correct thing to do is. I guess we fall back to our Bill of Rights and hope the system of checks and balances works for all of us.
Republicans across the country are exercising their free speech and anti-democracy attitude over a false narrative too. Most of them believe the election was stolen, when it clearly wasn't. They're gathering for 'rallies' and talking about it to anyone who will listen. Do you also believe that to be dangerous? I'd say that's a lot more dangerous than an athlete nobody has heard of exercising her right to free speech over your so called 'false narrative'.

I believe it can be. What happened Jan 6th proves that. And they are being censored.

We are seeing the results of being free to speak about a false narrative , athletes and many others like her, are turning their backs on America. Divides between classes are widening. Divides between races are widening. Resentment against law and order is growing. Policies being developed. All based on a false pretense, not facts. This is obviously not an issue for you, yet a small group of voters that question the election results is. Interesting.

Default Former NFL Star Jack Brewer Blasts Gwen Berry for Turning Away from Flag Flag During Anthem

It’s refreshing to see former patriotic athletes speaking up against these ingrate and self centered athletes


Quote:

Her uniform says America, she’s representing America. The U.S. Olympic committee needs to do something about this garbage.

Can't she renounce her citizenship, and move to, perhaps, Nigeria or Liberia? I don't get it.


A number of American NBA players are going to represent nations like Nigeria in the Olympics (thought I think some of them have next to no roots in their immediate family that would justify such treason).


I think they should get on with it. But we know they won't. They have it way too good in places like America than they ever would in Nigeria, or Liberia, or Somalia.

Photos Surface of Anti-Flag Olympian Worshiping US Flag


Quote:
As a result of the photos, which show Berry embracing the flag just years ago, many on social media are claiming she only shows affinity towards the flag when it might benefit her financially.


“It’s all a grift. Will wrap herself in the flag to get donations,” one OP noted in a popular post at pro-Trump forum Patriots.win.

Watch: The Lefties will get their collective knickers in a twist complaining about the source, while being unable to disprove the pictures are genuine. (Because they come from a donation page dedicated to her...)
