She shouldn’t be removed for her views.

She should be removed from representing the US, because she doesn’t want to represent the US.

I believe this is the wrong approach because it's what our enemies want us to do so they can frame us as anti-free speech authoritarians. Leftists want martyrs. Let's not play into their hands.

The best thing to do is point out how she's being disrespectful and wants to undermine our values and traditions.

If you attack the person you create a martyr. It's best to attack her actions.

Remove her from the team and don’t allow re-entry to the US. She hates America that much? She can stay there.

I agree, she should be removed from the team and all team members should sign an acknowledgement that they are NOT to protest on as U.W. representatives. What they do on their own time is O.K.

You don’t write your blog. No need to excerpt it as clickbait.

*********

Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) is calling for hammer thrower Gwen Berry to be removed from the U.S. Olympic team after her anti-American protest on Sunday.

Olympic athlete Berry triggered widespread outrage when she turned her back in protest during the national anthem while standing on the podium.

Berry attacked her own country after winning a bronze medal in Oregon at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials.

As she stood at the winners’ podium, she turned her back as the Star-Spangled Banner played.

She then produced a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “activist athlete” which she waved and placed over her head.

Since Sunday’s event, the 31-year-old athlete has been hit with much criticism for her un-American actions.

Crenshaw argued that Olympic athletes should ‘believe in the country you’re representing’

One reaction, in particular, has been a staple; that Berry shouldn’t be representing the U.S. if she hates the country so much.

That idea was articulated by the representative from Texas during a Monday appearance on Fox News.

During his visit with Fox & Friends, Crenshaw insisted that action should be taken.

“We don’t need any more activist athletes. She should be removed from the team,” Crenshaw said.

Crenshaw added that Berry was little different than the NBA players who have spent the last few years protesting during the anthem.

“The entire point of the Olympic team is to represent the United States of America,” Crenshaw continued.

“That’s the entire point.

“OK so, you know, it’s one thing when these NBA players do it, OK fine, we’ll just stop watching.

“But now the Olympic team?

“And it’s multiple cases of this.

“They should be removed,” he exclaimed.

“That should be the bare minimum requirement is that you believe in the country you’re representing.”

Crenshaw likened Berry’s actions to the divisive protests by NBA players

For her part, Berry jumped to Twitter to deliver a message to the Texan.
