How was she set up. They play the anthem during every medal ceremony. And she wants to represent the US? Maybe she should represent one of the African nations if she hates the US so much.

Kick her off the team. If you can’t stand proud for your national anthem you don’t get to represent this country

She's set up but happened to have a black shirt that said athlete activist with her?

Let me guess, the backlash was terrible now she's crawfishing?

Brave and shite...

Alternate equivalent headline: “Career activist with victim mentality blames others for her own decision”

In all international competition, any US athlete that protests this country should be left overseas.

Why compete in the fricking Olympics of all things then? Plus why do we give af what the 3rd place finisher has to say?

Exactly, now the dumb bitch is deciding how she will protest in Tokyo. I got a news flash for her dumbass: if you finished 3rd in the US trials the chances of you being on the podium in Tokyo is pretty fricking slim.

She had to take the attention off of the gold medal winner and put it back on herself. Ruining the ceremony for the other two medalists in the process

In the Olympics they do but not during the trials. They play the anthem at the start of the evening portion, which has been around 5:20-5:30 every day. Berry was on the podium at 5:25 when it played. Someone needs to tell the dumb bi*ch that a 3rd place finisher isn't worth enough to f*CK with.
