And yes, people should ignore it if it angers them. A news story needs continuing developments like a fire needs oxygen. Every outraged tweet or article about Kaep justifies lengthening the news cycle. He had apparently sat for previous games and no one noticed. Thus, there was no story. The story is your outrage, really, not Kaep's protest. As long as you stay outraged and people keep registering their outrage, the story will stay in the news. The moment people stop reacting to him is when the story dies. Your choice.
Reminds me of the Olympic fake outrage. People outraged and blew up internet when the coloreds didn't put their hands over their hearts. But no outrage when the white boys didn't put their hand over their heart, didn't smile, look like they weren't happy when the national anthem was played. Strange how people get mad at certain people and not others. CK is proving a point. America treats people differently.
I want people to find some posts of people showing same outrage at the white guys not putting hands over hearts, not smiling. I want people finding posts to tell them to leave the country, saying they are disrespectful, they'll pay for a boat ride to another country. Because those black track girls and gabby douglas got a lot of shite. Gabby took so much heat she had to apologize. Those other guys didn't have to apologize, nobody harassed them.

Honestly, no one gave a shite about Simone Biles not putting her hand over her heart. I didn't even hear about it until about 36 hours after it happened, when the internet was swept up in outrage at Bill Plaschke's remarkably stupid column. Hell, even BREITBART took Simone's side in that debate.
Plaschke wrote a really stupid column, no one agreed with it, and the internet reacted in near unanimity in condemning him and saying Simone is awesome as hell. And then, we all pretty much moved on.
