I wonder...
She wasn’t being disrespectful. I used to go to 10-12 NCAA sports events a week for almost 20 years. You all would have fits watching all the disrespectful stuff going on.
There are real problems in the world. This isn’t one of them.
Nobody's that stupid. She's a liar.
Interesting. No one has called out Michael Phelps for laughing during the anthem.
Shes a democrat...don’t believe it...this hurt her endorsement signings it’s the only reason she is sorry...follow the money!
Really, people made a big deal out of this? bleh, so much more to worry about.
I had to go see who she was. BS she did it on purpose.
People outraged on Twitter? How could that be possible?
We never put our hand over our heart for the Star Spangled Banner. We did for the Pledge of Allegiance.
It is a shame that Freepers can’t enjoy these young women for the amazing feat they accomplished. Yes, Gabby didn’t put her hand on her heart. But she put her heart gymnastics and is a wonderful athlete. Her mother is single handily raised four children. One of them became a Gold Medalist in the Olympics. Yet, Freepers don’t have the humanity to enjoy the moment. Very sad. Very embarrassing.
I’m now wondering if her bitterness is due to her needing to find new coaches, after she slammed her previous gym for being ‘racist’. That gym prepared her for her successes in 2012. After she denigrated them, I suspect she had to find new trainers. She isn’t nearly as good as she was in 2012. Poor baby.
And Obama plays with his donkey kong. How nice chief idiot.
Gabby talks about her faith, the Bible, etc. Link below:

I don’t put my hand over my heart for the anthem either.
I don’t worship the USA, I worship Yehova.
Leave Gabby alone $hit disturbers!

The flag should never be part of a sports uniform, or on a uniform, yet every sports team these days puts one on. Plenty of parts to pick on people with the flag.
That is the etiquette. Sometimes sporting events produce other behaviors
i say fuch her non-apology apology.
and i do not care if she is offended. little snotty bitch.
