People should write to US Olympic Committee about how it is letting athletes get away with unpatriotic behavior...

People should also write to sponsors of US Olympic Committee...

I did watch Olympics in the past...This time...I don’t know...

Some people might get bored after watching US athletes kneel day after day during Olympics...

Will the US be the only country whose participants will disrespect their flag and anthem?

I would find such behavior offensive, and so it must be prohibited!

Oh, wait: I'm a LIBERAL, so of course I approve such behavior, so it must be tolerated!

Starting this year US athletes will be allowed to kneel, sit, hold a fist up, turn their back on, etc. when the National Anthem is played at the Olympic trials.

What about when the national hymn of a foreign state is played? Will cat-calling, hissing, middle-fingering, kneeling, etc. likewise be allowed?

No, didn't think so!

But members of the audience who boo the kneeling athletes will be quietly escorted from the stadium, amirite?

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.

Why should he have to do that?

Didn't every U.S. citizen already learn that in 7th-grade civics class?

They should not be on this team. Move to a country you are proud off and try out for that team.

He should have done it to remind every ‘American’ who stayed from the game instead of walking out, seeing disrespect for the flag. to defend

They’re the bigger problem

I think that's what you meant to write.
