pipedreams Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 They need to boot her ass............... "Outspoken race activist Gwen Berry took third in the US women’s Olympic hammer throwing trials. Then she turned her back on the US Flag as the National Anthem played during the medal’s ceremony. She said it was “a set-up.” And when the anthem was still playing she pulled her T-shirt up over her head." Gwen is a race activist known for her protests more than her career as an athlete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I say cut all taxpayer funding to the US Olympic team. Hell, to all sports for that matter. Sportsball is the opiate of the masses and should only be funded by its fans. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) Btw, third place ain't first place. If you look at the WINNER, she's got her hand over her heart and is holding the US flag. She didn't just win, she set a new national record. Why are we paying attention to the racist in third? https://www.google.com/amp/s/onherturf.nbcsports.com/2021/06/26/video-deanna-price-breaks-multiple-records-in-hammer-throw-final/amp/ Edited June 27, 2021 by Sparks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That especially should exclude state and local taxes - paid or concessions - used to support construction of sports temples. Let the billionaire owners buy their own play pens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Ayep. It's why people are watching less sports. Show up to cheer a hammer throw..and get a lecture from someone who can't see how "the system" has supported her very efforts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 third is last place. the point of a National Olympic Team is National Unity and Spirit, if you don't have that why are you on the National Team 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are privately funded through broadcast rights, corporate sponsorships, and donations. ETA: So it should be even easier for them to show her ass to the door.

A more fitting term would be attention whores because that's exactly what they are. They don't care if the attention they get is positive or negative so long as it keeps them in the news. No different than people who used to burn the flag in the 60s and 70s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You placed...at that level. I don't think i ever placed first in anything athletic. I was in college when i won my first trophy for anything. Third place in a disc golf tournament.
