@realDonaldTrump on Twitter: "Even Usain Bolt from Jamaica, one of the greatest runners and athletes of all time, showed RESPECT for our National Anthem!"
He's referring to this amazing scene from the 2012 Summer Olympics:
Jamaican Legend Shows Respect for U.S. National Anthem
This took place in TORONTO, folks.
Meh, he should just let them stew...
because I’ll bet Usain now comes out an kneels.....
Growing up in Buffalo, during the “French Connection” years, I really came to appreciate hockey fans
I was at an Atlanta United game (yes it’s soccer) in July in our company suite. The mic failed while the singer was singing our Anthem prior to kick-off. The entire stadium picked up where he left off and everybody gave cheer afterwards. Not one soccer player showed disrespect for our flag/anthem.
I truly pray the NFL folds and the NBA follows suit. Both sports are run and ruined by thugs.
Thanks for sharing.
Amazing...Also amazing that the CBS hosts loved it—in 2014...how times have changed!
Following that video put up January 2017. It has 5 clips of the crowd breaking into song when mic was cut or not...No knees. No linked arms in solidarity! Lots of flags in Boston Marathon clip at the end.
It is a keeper too.

Jamaicans as a rule are better citizens when they come here than the others
Nice...Mr. Bolt should be an honorary American citizen!! Thank you!!
