Former Olympic and professional boxing champion George Foreman used Independence Day to share his love for America to trump weeklong coverage of Gwen Berry, who qualified for the U.S. Olympic team but has bashed things like the national anthem.
Foreman, who went from a gold medalist at the 1968 Mexico Summer Olympics to a professional heavyweight champion and eventual entrepreneur, tweeted Sunday that he loves America, and that's he's not ashamed of it.
"For about 54 years, people have ask me not to keep saying "I love America" Well I do and I'm not ashamed. Don't leave it; Love it. Happy 4th of July," Foreman wrote.

George said, “If I had to do it again, I would have brought two flags.”
Good for HIM!!
Nigeria is looking for women
Indeed.
Funny how they only talk about the Black Power salute guys, and not about George.
Anyone who makes his name boxing and then follows that up by fame for grilling meat is got a huge head start in being cool over some mere actress.
Good, I’m glad he spoke out on this- wish more black celebrities would do the same-
I’ve used George Foreman’s grill to cook thousands of meals.
I use his Grill all the time
I like him, but not his grills. They drain the fat off. What the heck!
Bttt.

Always liked George
My mom loves the thing. She’d rather cook on her Foreman grill than let me do them outdoors!
Saw several interviews with him, not the scary guy he was supposed to be, but being Sonny Listons sparring partner he tried to emulate Sonny’s scowl.
A great grill!!!
Love that guy!
“I like him, but not his grills. They drain the fat off. What the heck!”
What you do with it then is up to you.
I have never used his grill (I am a Weber Kettle grill person). But love the fact he went from a successful athlete to a successful businessman and did it with what appear to be a graceful spirit. Cheers George!
