Not a star and wasn't even a starter. That said I agree with his view

"Our" blood. She isnt a slave and none of her relatives relatives knew one. She got a free ride to college and has a net worth of $8 million from throwing chunks of metal in the air.

This is madness.
I PICK THINGS UP TO PUT THEM DOWN!

And the first and second place finishers are pushed aside so she can have her little anti-racist hissy fit.
SO SICK OF THIS. She should not be on an American team. They need to start disqualifying jerks who want to use this stage to 'protest.'

This is not going to end well for the US.

The Olympics is a 100% Nationalist event. These athletes participate for the country, not themselves. She needs to be booted.
There was no world record at that event but yes DeAnna Price did get her thunder stolen for winning that event.

And that is unfortunate. For every jingoistic right winger who won't watch or support the Olympics because of the antics of a Gwen Berry...they are missing out on the DeAnna Prices of the team who are as Apple Pie American as they come.

The really sad thing her 3rd place finish overshadowed the 2 women who came in 1st and 2nd.


If America is so racist, how did she even get on the team?

It's a shame how so many blacks have NOT learned that their actions have turned MANY off from watching sports and the teams have suffered..
The NFL packages from Direct TV had RECORD numbers of viewers cancelling.

I know MANY who have been life long fans NOT watching football anymore. Myself included.

"There is a time and place for everything. Many watch sports to GET AWAY from the daily "crap" we hear and see every day.

Google is your friend - it's been in the news.

“No kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.” In January 2020, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) clarified that Rule 50 prohibits “hand gestures or kneeling,” as well as political messaging like signs....

Well, if the US Olympic keeps on people like Berry, then it does not represent the USA, it become a mish-mash of self centered jocks who are only in it for themselves. People do not like to be spit upon, figuratively speaking, by athletes who hate our country. We can get that by watching videos of BLM and antifa rioters.
