>>“ The First Amendment.”
Are you kidding?<<
No, I am not. I’m not saying that he, or anyone else, who says anything someone deeply disagrees with, will be immune from consequence.
He’s not a government employee. He’s not funded by the government. Every athlete is a de facto ambassador for the country, and it appears that he tried to answer as honestly and thoughtfully as possible. Not easy for someone who doesn’t specialize in big-media interviews. I know they get coaching, but it’s hard to do.
You don’t like what he said, or what he believes? Fine. It’s your right. Just as it’s his right to say so. We’re not North Korea.
“ We’re not North Korea.”
Oh geeze
Tell me where I said the government should punish him
He’s over there on the USA Olympic committee support. Financially taken care of by them, representing the US. Kids are watching and aspiring to be like these guys
These guys don’t have day jobs. They work for the US. The Olympic team of the US. If he gets a medal is he going to turn his back on the flag like the Patriots player did yesterday at the Super Bowl.
Is he going to display his medal? Or show some character and decline it from a country he doesn’t like?
You ought to go on a TV spot, sponsored by your employer and announce that you announce that you don’t like the people you work for, that you don’t like their morality. You’ll find out that yes we are not a communist country we are a republic. See how that goes for you
The Clintons started this. People buy their lies. Their amorality spread. Their tenet is that freedom is licentiousness. People take freedom as the freedom to be bad
It’s bad to tell the world you don’t like your country. No one else is doing that
It starts with the democrats using people to fight to keep illegal immigrants here. The democrats are supporting their resisting arrest. Why? Because these people and you and this snowboarder are the only ones voting for democrats
Democrats have people blaming law enforcement
If your neighbor gets dragged out of his house by the cops resisting arrest are you going to go interfere? You’re going to tell people the cops were wrong?
Or are you going to find out what illegal act he did?
This kid is supporting illegal behavior. He’s free to run for office and try to get the law changed but just having a worldwide audience and announcing he disagrees with the law doesn’t change the law
We aren’t a dictatorship but this disagreeing with a law to the point of announcing it from a sports stage funded by the USA Olympics organization is not in keeping with our country’s laws and order either. That’s mob-ocracy.
