I thought Davis had meddled at sometime in the past, so he should have had at least a clue. OTOH, Shawn White was singing the anthem on the podium. I did not see his behavior as disrespectful.

Maybe White got two Golds, or we saw different ceremonies. What I saw, he was all over the place .. maybe sang a few bars, waved, pumped his arms, turned to whoever was next to him on the podium. It was 100% ADHD. I don’t think he would purposely act disrespectfully, but that was the way it appeared, at least to me.

Millions of people around the world watch the Olympics, tho probably not the awards unless it’s their own country. But I think American athletes could take two minutes to show respect for their country and its flag.

Or, maybe I am hyper-sensitive remembering the horrific behavior of our athletes in the ‘70’s.
