Ok I am laughing

Amazing how fast NK athletes can swim when they train with AAA pointed horizontally at their back

Kneeling on the podium would be a disgrace!

I already know the answer, but I’ll ask anyway. Will he be taking the knee in protest of the Democrats, who run the cities where the vast majority of the murder of blacks occurs?

If I understand this latest ignorant act by an American swimmer, he is protesting America to “save lives and understand the imbalance”? Yet, there he is “representing” America in a swim competition? Does he represent America or not?

If ANY Olympians ‘take a knee’ during the playing of our National Anthem, NBC is going to lose big bucks. And donations to fund these Olympians will dry up. Go ahead, make our day, you pampered Olympian divas!

I hope his post-Olympics endorsements match Colin (2-14 loser) K’s post-rudeness job prospects. These traitors need to be hurt in the wallet.

“What AMERICANS who insist on attending and following the Olympics need to do is root for athletes from other countries and boo the athletes who represent the “evil” and “rasis” America. Give the America-hating, kneelers a good dose of their own medicine.”

I agree completely. I don’t usually follow the Olympics, but I would support athletes from the Central and Eastern European nations before I would support an “American” snowflake. Since I’m of Russian descent, I will also proudly support Russian athletes.

I’m sure my statement will draw the ire of the usual suspects on FR. I don’t care.
