Get ready for more of this. The most competition at the Tokyo Olympics will be to see which American athletes can shite the most on their country.

quote:

Berry booked a spot at this summer’s Tokyo Olympics by finishing third behind DeAnna Price and Brooke Andersen on Saturday in Eugene, Oregon, sending the 31-year-old to her second successive Games.

quote:

As the three athletes were collecting their medals, the Star-Spangled Banner struck up, prompting Berry to turn away from the US flag and eventually cover her head with a black T-shirt emblazoned with the words ‘Activist Athlete’ on the front.

quote:

“I don't really want to talk about the anthem because that's not important. The anthem doesn't speak for me. It never has. I’m here to represent those... who died due to systemic racism. That’s the important part. That’s why I’m going. That’s why I’m here today.”

This is from the generation that thinks activism is posting a black square on Instagram.

Why would they compete for a country they despise? Because they're a selfish, athlete "activist" interested in promoting themselves rather than the country/team they're there to represent.

In other words, a typical progressive liberal.

How do you not pull these clowns and send them home? Who picks these people to represent our country? What exactly do they think that means?

Doubt she sees a podium in the Olympics, but i won't know because i won't be watching that crap. I'm sure there will be plenty more "activist" athletes who shite on the country that gave them the opportunity to be where they are.

A real activist would refuse to represent and stay the frick home.

She should emigrate as a refugee to a country on the dark continent and represent them. There are so many shining examples in Africa.

Ms. Berry, have you considered Liberia? We'll gladly pay for your airplane ticket to that destination. Clearly, you'd be happier there. If you loath America so much, then why go through this charade? Just leave.

I’m sure those athletes from other countries would love to tell this chick what real racism and strife and hard times are actually like
