Jerk of the week: And she came in third.

Thoughts from the 42nd Parallel ^ | 06-29-2021 | Tom Shattuck

[I want the USA back]

Then renounce your citizenship and go to somalia.

[Ann Archy]

She should NEVER REPRESENT the USA....EVER! She should be kicked off the USA TEAM! She said that the flag has NEVER meant anything to her.!!

[duckman]

Another sporting event I probably won’t watch.

[Menehune56]

And what was with the clown makeup?

[Dutch Boy]

I agree. As an Olympic athlete, she is representing the country. If she doesn’t want to represent the country, there is no need for her to participate in the Olympics. All people like her need to be tossed from the Olympic Team. They can compete in local or national sports if they wish. I have a zero tolerance for the antics of these spoiled, self important people.

[metmom]

I almost hate to ask but what did she do?

[FatherofFive]

I used to enjoy the Olympics. Would track the medals race between the US and USSR. Wonder if the East German women weightlifters had testicles.

Not so much anymore.

[SkyDancer]

She won’t go because she like the free stuff here.

[cyclotic]

First time 99% of Americans ever heard of some sport called hammer throwing and it’s because of some ingrate BLM SJW clown ruining the show.

[Red Badger]

When she acts like a jerk in Tokyo, she will disgrace her community and embarrass her country because the rest of the world knows real oppression and this spoiled brat’s song and dance will send one message:

Hope 'it' loses to a real 'oppressed' person......................

[vetvetdoug]

The hammer was misused upon this woman. It should be used for something else.

[Lou L]

Gwen Berry acted out when the Star Spangled Banner was played as she stood on the podium, having won third place for her athletic feats.

I was under the impression that the country's anthem was only played for contestants who won first-place. Why was our national anthem being played for her third-place finish?

[wrcase]

It was the US Olympic team trials. There were only Americans competing.

[Da Coyote]

Saw her play a sentient human on tv.
Cannot.
Unsee.

[tflabo]

She may be good at throwing hammers but her brain is mush from leftist Wokeism victim mentality. That’s her real oppression.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

I had not paid attention to Gwen Berry.

I thought she was the winner and now I find she is only a third rate actor.

[goodnesswins]

Acted stupid during the National Anthem

[gundog]

The anthem doesn't speak for me.

I think it’s supposed to speak to you. Still, you’re free to speak your mind, such as it is.

[uranium penguin]

I hear everyone talking about this. but I have not heard THIS take on it.

If IOC/ Japan allows this behavior at the games. how can it not allow similar behavior from OTHER athletes?

What IF.. The Japanese female hammer thrower decides to protest Japan’s historical misogyny on the podium?

What if the Saudi Gold medal winner decides to “come out” as gay while accepting his medal?

What if the whole Islamic fundamentalist nation Female Soccer team comes out in spandex and not complete coverings to protest?
