American athlete Gwen Berry made the U.S. Olympic team over the weekend and quickly showed why she should not be on it. As the national anthem played and other athletes faced the flag with hands over their hearts, Gwen Berry turned away. Is this a person who should be representing America at the Tokyo Olympics?
Before the anthem was finished, Berry placed a shirt over here head which read “activist athlete.” The Olympics is where athletes fight for victories and world records, not social justice and BLM. Raised fists are for the boxing ring, not for the podium.
Brandeis University is under fire for its “oppressive” words list. Plus, former President Trump brings fire and energy to his Ohio rally.

If you don’t respect the flag and the National Anthem then you should be kicked off the Olympic team. After all you are there to represent our country, not your own perverted political insanity. It is past time to stop catering to these self-absorbed cry babies. This is about your country not about you – you whining little retard. Kick her to the curb!!!!
I thought the US Olympics committee already said “THERE Will be severe repercussions for those who bring politics into this”.
SO WHERE ARE THOSE repercussions!??
They meant to say at the end, “if you’re white”!
Or male, or conservative…
This attention-grabbing stunt took the focus off the other two athletes who finished 1st and 2nd. Shameful! I agree, if you don’t want to represent your country with pride, you don’t belong in the olympics. They are quickly loosing credibility in my book – also shameful.
I wonder, what their reactions were.. SINCE ALL We are hearing in the media, is about BERRY..
She needs to be put on a plane to Uganda where she belongs.
One way, and strip her citizenship and passport after she boards the plane.
Can these self absorbed, hate America slugs get any more sickening.
Send her to Rawanda, see where she could be.
Gwen Berry hasn’t made that great o F A Olympic showing yet. For When Berry to turn her back when America’s national anthem only showed another part of her anatomy much clearer. Gwen Berry had better hope that America never turns its back on her. Let Gwen Berry can earn the right to be called ” American, She hasn’t shown that she deserved that right yet..
When the team boards the flight for Japan, quietly slip her onto a flight going anywhere in Africa.
And kick her out in mid air!
If the athlete does not want to represent our country by standing for the national anthem then said athlete does not have to be part of the US Olympic team.
Time for sports to draw the line in the sand in the Olympics. Kick this one off the team and give it to someone that wants to represent us.
THEY imo, SHOULD have done, that PUBLICLY RIGHT AFTER she turned her back, by STRIPPING her of her 3rd place finish, and giving it to the 4th place finisher.
How self centered ?? She wasn’t the only one up on the Podium. But if it’s Disrespectful to play the national anthem, then quit. I think you were Disrespectful to the American people and the military.
I think you were disrespectful to the American people , ” you posted and I Agree with you. This poor excuse of a Representative of America, had no respect to show in Regard for all that this country has given to her, kick her poor As* out!
I meant to comment, ” This poor excuse of a Representative for America , had no regard for all that this country has given to her…. “
I’d have loved it, if those two white gals, AFTER SEEING what she did, beat her dumb butt up!
Then I say we reject Gwen Berry. This is the lamest load of BS I have heard yet from these saphead athletes promoting their so0called causes for justice. I am surprised Kapernick and Rapinoe haven’t rushed to her defense—and maybe they have—I just haven’t heard.
You know. Gwen, you are in a very elite spot in athletics—very few people ever make it to the Olympics. You got that chance because you live in a country where you could pursue and achieve that dream. You show your gratitude by turning your back on the flag during the National Anthem. You felt like you were set up??? You need to be set straight. If you have a gripe with this country, then take your social justice **** to China or Russia—they have a few social justice issues and I’m sure an outspoken advocate like you would be welcome—but I think you understand the sarcasm—you know you can get away with it here and be a Media star. You should be kicked off the team and stripped of your medal. Get yourself a passport and a one-way ticket and be gone.
Very well put. One of the better posts.
I think perhaps Ms./Is./Xi. whatever, Berry thinks she belongs in the center of the podium instead of the side. She is obviously very bitter. It is obvious to me that she/it/them doesn’t belong on the podium at all.
AND if “ShE hates the anthem that much’ WHY THEN DID SHE SEEK to officially REPRESENT IT by fighting to join the US athletic team!
She does not meet the basic requirement for a position on the team representing the United States Olympic Team. By rejecting this country and its values, you have automatically disqualified yourself. Please move to a country you can respect.
Please kick her off the USA team. Anyone who hates our flag has no right to be representing America in the Olympics or anywhere ! She’s trying to make a name for herself by doing this and it is disgusting – She just ruined the Olympics for millions of people who had to watch her display of hatred for this great country that she is supposed to be representing.
According to this afternoons news, the US Olympic Committee, has ALREADY chickened out, and said it WON’T take any action against barry..
BUNCH of yella bellies.
That’s an iconic photo which will follow Gwen Berry for the rest of her days.
We can only hope that she is unable to get a job any higher on the pay scale than hamburger flipper at a fast food restaurant. And hopefully that job will be eliminated by automation.
Berry may have come in third in the competition, but anyone who is this ungrateful to her own country is #2 in my book.
And yes, if she isn’t prepared to represent the U.S., then she should find another team, and another country.
This is why i HOPE to hell, the Olympic committee kicks her OFF the team.
Twin Berry thought that she cwhil making aould make a Name for to self and she has, but no one cares that she made a Fool of her self, ” Somewhere a village is Missing Its Village idiot.. “
When she turned her back on the American flag, toward where was she turning that would treat her better? Cuba? China?
Well both China and Cuba would be better than North Korea. The fat boy definitely treats dissenters badly. As I recall taking one out with a military rocket, another with an anti-tank round, and just recently he personally shot one to pieces with several magazines emptied from an AK at point blank range. Yes China or Cuba would be best.
I am awaiting the ramifications of her actions, but she will probably be hired by facebook, or twitter, maybe even Harvard.
You’ll be waiting for ever then.. THE US Olympics have already (unfortunately) said they won’t do anything.. Though that was reported by Fox, and i am NOT seeing anything corroborating it..
The radical left’s plan to destroy America, which has been steadily gaining momentum since the 1960’s, has culminated in the wide-spread contempt we are now witnessing for our nation’s laws, symbols, values, history, and traditions. It has now become acceptable, especially among Blacks and other minorities, to smear America as being a White-dominated, systemically racist nation that deserves to be publicly disrespected whenever possible.
What America-haters like Gwen Berry fail to realize is that they are not just showing disrespect for America by their disgusting conduct, they are dishonoring the ultimate sacrifice that was made by hundreds of thousands of brave Americans that has allowed them to remain free to exercise the rights that they are guaranteed by the Constitution. America is one of the few countries where an individual can harshly criticize the government or any other aspect of the nation without the fear of arrest, imprisonment, torture, or execution. Of course, brainwashed fools like Gwen Berry are so blinded by their hatred of America that they are incapable of appreciating just how blessed they are to live in the greatest nation on Earth.
CRETINS like her, probably were raised by the generation of folks, who SPAT AT troops returning from Vietnam.. So she care’s not, whether she is disrespecting those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
She is relying on the “race card” to protest since she is not very good at much of anything else.
The other 2 women don’t seem to have a problem with respecting the flag. They should start throwing sledge hammers at Gwen Berry.
Priorities. There are some groups of people you go to in order to put a man on the moon. And then there are others to move a ball, throw a javelin, or toss a hammer. She is irrelevant.
Politics does not belong in professional or amateur sporting events. I am not amused by these shameless grandstanding primadonnas. If they want to make a political statement, I am sure the media would gladly give them air time on their networks. Politics has ruined The Oscars, The Emmy’s and the Miss America Pageant. Now money and politics is taking its toll on Sports.
I haven’t gone to a professional or amateur sporting event in years. If I want to watch them, I prefer to do it in the comforts of my home. At home I can turn them off or not turn them on at all. I don’t have to pay those outrageous prices for tickets along with the hot dogs, popcorn and drinks.
LEFTISM RUINS everything it touches.. PERIOD.
Gain Berry s Blood Lines, I’M told are these, ” Her Mother Was a Mare and her Father must have been A Jack AS* And She Is Their Obvious Off Spring… “
Gwin Berry thought that while making a Name for herself that she could make herself a Hero and show her disdain for America at the same time. “Somewhere A Village is Missing Its Village Idiot. “
