Probably pissed because she was beaten by two superior white women.

Police should make a national registry of people who openly hate them, that way when these people are victims of crimes and mistakenly call the police, the police never arrive.

quote:

Berry found it to be no matter of coincidence that she was front and center during the anthem. Unlike the Olympics, anthems aren't played to accompany medal ceremonies at the trials. But the hammer throwers received their awards just before the start of the evening session, which has been kicking off all week with a videotaped rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner.''

USA Track and Field spokeswoman Susan Hazzard said "the national anthem was scheduled to play at 5:20 p.m. today. We didn't wait until the athletes were on the podium for the hammer throw awards. The national anthem is played every day according to a previously published schedule.'' On Saturday, the music started at 5:25.


quote:

"They said they were going to play it before we walked out, then they played it when we were out there,'' said Berry. "But 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.''

Her gestures drew virtually no reaction from the still-filling stands. And they were something far less than two summers ago, when Berry raised her fist on the podium after winning the Pan-Am Games.

The IOC said political statements, which this is, will not be allowed at the games. We'll see how long that lasts.

Hey, look at me. I'm 31, came in 3rd, and barely made the team.

Seriously, leave her dumb arse home.

Perhaps she can find a black Country in say Africa to represent and escape all the systemic racism.

Yet here you are as an Olympic athlete being shown all over the globe. You're too stupid to even speak.

If she hates it here then she should find another country to live in . None of these athletes should be able to do this at the Olympic . If they do then they should be replaced .

Clearly, she isn’t very intelligent…..not uncommon for a leftist.

She failed all of her Hammer Throw attempts.
She's a loser and needs the attention.

How far are we allowed to take this?

Is talk of secession no longer taboo?

The US Olympic committee should revoke her spot if they had any stones.

that person has a bad case of look-at-me-ism.

I don't think I'll oblige her.

Let’s ship them all out of here and pay for their tickets. I bet she would love living in Haiti.
