Can they drop their draws?

Expose a breast?

Engage in other rude behavior?

There goes the TV ratings of the Olympics right into the pits, if they repeat this idiocy at the Olympics.

Roger Goodall started all this when he did not explain to his ignorant employees that the flag stands for the constitution which stands for anti racism.

It is a scourge.

The worst one yet.

Anybody who watches a single minute of this communist demonstration is in the same category as all those moslems who claim they are not jihadists, yet they secretly approve of, and provide support to, every hideous act...

Back in the day, Americans called that type of persons “pinko fellow-travelers”...
All Americans (man, woman, child, old, young) witnessing such treasonous displays would immediately hold close-order stomping drills all over their pinko heads...

WHAT??? Where’s the sport of Public Team Micturition on the US Flag? Obviously the Olympics are nowhere near woke enough.

Maybe they can get ALL the competing countries to enter that event.

A while back didn’t some black athletes use the black power fist raised when our National anthem was played?

and a few years ago Congress decided that Olympics prize money would be tax-free to the recipients. I remember the virtuous speeches and comments from politicians as to how it was the proper/just thing to do since these athletes were representing our nation, working hard.
blah, blah, blah
I don’t think such noble thoughts are uppermost in the minds of the competitors. But I guess they talk a good game when they are being interviewed for inclusion on the team.

Well, in that case I’ll be sure not to watch.

How about male perverts competing against women? Will that be allowed?
