"She should resign from the team if she can’t proudly represent her country."

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) tweeted: “There are 195 countries in the world. 194 of them don’t have the American flag. If @macygray or anyone else hates the American flag so badly, they should pick a flag they like & go live in the country that flies it!”

So, does she accept American $$$ to support her efforts to disrespect us?

She should be forever barred from representing the US in any capacity, period. But, under this Administration, it won’t happen.

Sore loser Berry is just a mouthpiece for the media, with no chance in hell at the Olympics. Price crushed her by 22 feet 4 inches.

Thanks for that info. Will be looking forward to watching the event now!

Contrast this hate filled self absorbed Twinkie with Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

Thanks for the photo...I was thinking about Jesse Owens when I read about this lady...

I do not think Jesse Owens ever complained about American flag or national anthem...

I read that Jesse Owens was unhappy that President Roosevelt ignored him...He endorsed the GOP candidate in 1936 election...

How nice would it be to round all of these athletes like her, put them on a plane and force them to live in the Middle East or Venezuela?

Never to Return.

And that is the main reason I won’t be watching and haven’t watched the last couple of Olympics. I do wish the Central and Eastern European teams good luck.

I used to look forward to Women’s Gymnastics and, in the Winter Olympics, Figure Skating. No more.

The cancerous left have succeeded to destroying the Olympics. There isn’t much left that they haven’t destroyed.

I grew up watching the Olympic Games. They inspired me to start running, which led to a lifelong love of running in HS and College. They are dead to me now.

I love the original Dream Team in Basketball, we sent out absolute best basketball players and destroyed everyone, it was fun to watch...and I enjoy the international rules of basketball but like you I won’t be watching it this year.

They are making it so easy for me to sit out the Olympics for the sixth time in a row.

I sure hope that the people who GET reparations sign off on receiving the money...so they will be FOREVER ineligible to receive further or additional taxpayer funded welfare!!!!

Otherwise, where the he&@ does the shakedown end?

The OTHER option could be.... take a ticket to ANY third world s&@thole in Africa and then we’ll be square! Because honestly, all the people demanding ‘reparations’ most certainly have been recipients of welfare in one form or another, for their entire lives and of course, THAT amounts to millions ALREADY provided by US taxpayers over the last 60 years !!

Also-shouldn’t the amount they were given already be deducted from the total they think they are owed?

I mean, seriously, this is JUST how ridiculous the whole ‘reparations’ issue IS!

Nope, she shouldn't be given that chance, she should be immediately REMOVED from the team.
