"I never said that I hated the country,” said Gwen Berry, the world’s most famous hammer thrower -- male, female or non-binary. “All I said was I respect my people enough to not stand or acknowledge something that disrespects them. I love my people point blank, period."

Berry, who finished third in the female hammer throw at the U.S. track and field Olympic Trials, was attempting to explain why she turned her back on the National Anthem. If her subversive pout appalled half of America, it surprised no one. In the year 2021, sports fans have come to expect athletes, black and white, to disrespect symbols of national pride.

It didn’t use to be this way. When Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, race relations were better than they had ever been. As to athletic protests, it had been forty years since any Olympian grabbed the kind of attention Berry got.

At the 1968 Olympics, 200-meter medalists Tommy Smith and John Carlos famously gave a black power salute while the Anthem played. Unlike Berry, however, they at least had something to bitch about, Smith having grown up in the Jim Crow South and Carlos having been schooled there.

Berry had no idea what she was protesting. Born in a St. Louis suburb in 1989, she likely cast her first presidential vote for a black man. She may have even believed Obama’s insistence that there “is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there’s the United States of America.”

The more salient question is whether Obama believed it. If he did, he did not believe it deeply enough to resist the pressure he faced from the left’s old school race hustlers and new school critical race theorists.

We'll see how successful this career move is.

At first she says she doesn’t hate her country, then she says she lover her people. So who exactly are her people? /s

What she meant to say was, "My skin color is my uniform."

Just like this guy:

Yep. This pos sought out to destroy this nation. He’s done more harm to our nation than any president in US history.

Lol. Eff this c***.

This is possibly my mistake in thinking this way, but isn’t an Olympic contestant supposed to be someone who can honestly represent their country?

Let’s send a whole dogpile of malcontents to the Olympic Games and have them mouth off in front of all the microphones and have the world know what a bunch of a-holes we have in this country.

With Japan rejecting all TEAM (my a$$) USA malcontents Visa’s and escorting them out of Japan. And that’s not uncommon in Japan. Lots of malcontents get the boot because they are an undesired nuisance.

Any resistance and the Yawara’s come out to adroitly persuade the offensive perps to lockup.
