Liberals are going NUTS for this fencing chick because she wears a hijab. They are trying to force a political "anti-Trump" message down our throats through the Olympics.

It is insanity.

Let's see, the greatest Olympian EVER in his last Olympics, or a chick that wears a hijab.

And yes, being asked to carry the flag is a big deal. I'm betting that even a star of your magnitude is still feeling the glow of being voted to carry the flag by your Olympic peers. But I know that you must know that there is a better choice to carry the flag -- the athlete who came in second to you in the vote for flag bearer, fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad.


Makes sense to me

Michael Phelps - 18 Olympic Medals, 8 of them Gold

Ibtihaj Muhammad - Currently #2 U.S. Women's Fencer, #12 in the world (according to www.usfencing.org). But she has ranked as high as #7 in the world.

I get it...she wears a funny hat. Now, let's move on to more important things.

Kind of.

50% of the population lives off the government now.

So it's really a competition to see how long the taxpaying working class will allow these pieces of entitled shite to suckle at the teet

Yeah, frick the most decorated Olympian of all time. How dare he carry his countries flag. Ibtihaj Muhammad is awesome. Props to her and I hope that she excels in the Olympics, but Phelps has earned this honor. Period.

It would be one thing if they didn't view it as a fixed pie where they need to take from us to get a bigger slice. I agree with giving opportunities for minorities, but they are getting a little blatant with the "whites to the back of the bus" stuff.

I would respect them a hell of a lot more if they just came out and said it rather than continuing to beat around the bush. Just say it, "no more whites"

You are exactly right here. And, FWIW, it's absolutely crazy that CNN gave this retard a show.

People like him want us to apologize for being white then walk off and die.

Maybe we should only have Olympians of color participate this year too. We can't have white athletes hogging the spotlight
