Wokesters' Nightmare: Almost all of the American Olympic medal winners are patriots
American Thinker ^ | 08/03/2021 | Monica Showalter

Many Americans are ignoring the Olympics this year based on the wokester politics of certain loudmouth Olympic athletes, some just itching to turn their podium moments into anti-U.S. protests. It's disgusting, given that they've chosen to compete under the U.S. flag. It not only comes off as the height of ingratitude, it indicates contempt for the American people as a whole, who love their flag and country. Who needs that crap? Many just say no, and not just 'no' but 'hell no,' and watch the Olympics to cheer the other team, a new phenomenon, which has been evident in all the delight at the gold- and silver- medal loss of the wokester women's U.S. soccer team, and its offensive captain, Meghan Rapinoe.

But as these Olympics progress, something else is becoming obvious: Most of the athletes who are winning medals, are actually patriots. Sure, there was an exception I can think of such as that clown who crossed his arms. But we see a lot of pictures like this:


Olympic taekwondo champ Anastasija Zolotic wins gold.


Olympic surfing champ Carissa Moore celebrates her gold medal with the U.S. flag.

NBC advertised their Olympic coverage by pushing and pushing Simone Bile, Rapinoe the soccer player and the black woman swimmer from Stanford. All have bombed.

It’s unfortunate there is not coverage that just shows the events and avoids all the liberal commentary. I suspect it would do well.

Yeah, that’s the sad part is that these attention-whores are giving everyone else a bad name. There are a lot of great stories among the medalists.

Remember the old 60's late night olympic updates with Jim McKay on ABC?

No fluff talk and commentary. A half hour or so of just the events and the results.

Humans usually perform best when they are striving for a cause greater than themselves (God, country, etc.) All these wokeys are all about themselves.

I’m trying to see if the American Samoa sailing team got a metal. Dale Earnhardt said an employee of his Xfinity team is competing for them...

I’ve really enjoyed the Olympics. Great stories, but unless they’re Americans we don’t seem to hear about them. One example... yesterday, a woman from the Netherlands fell on the last lap of the 1500 qualifier, then came back and WON the heat. Incredible!! THEN, later in the day, she won the gold medal in the 5,000. Lots of great action if they’d quit with the stupid human interest stories. I don’t care! Shut up and run!!

Remember when George Foreman didn’t put his fist in the air?
The leftists of the day called him an Uncle Tom. All I saw was
a patriot and two buttholes. Sadly the buttholes are remembered more than George.
