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.

Our enemies will love it more when athletes who are ostensibly representing the USA mock the country and flag from the podium.

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

No no no, not that! All those endorsements and sponsors lost and nothing named after her?

Agreed - the only reason she's competing for a place on the team is for TV time and for an activist career after her competing days are over.

Ironic actually. These people shill for Marxists while enriching themselves by the capitalistic economy in the USA.

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

If your advice is so good then why have the leftists been winning everywhere with constant personal attacks over decades creating millions of martyrs?

Do not be a Jeb! Bush.

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.
