Not entirely what the thread is about. Read again. She's throwing a fit.

It’s different when you’re a competitor at the olympics. You’re putting on a uniform to represent your country. That’s very different from some bumpkins in the stands at a g league basketball game.

Besides, they only play your country’s anthem if you win, because the athlete is a proxy for their entire country. When the olympian wins, the anthem plays because their country wins. It should be a proud moment.

She is an embarrassment to her country by her actions right there.

What's sad is that woman who won gold beating anyone in anything involving being athletic with that body type. Holy shite.




Maybe it was the shot put.

Big bodies appear more suited for that.

Themselves, which is why they would pretend to compete on behalf of the US. If she is really that pissed at the US, maybe she should compete independently and pay her own way.

a symbol of what? if you call it a symbol it must represent something? what does it represent Lester? explain it to us.

At any random sporting event you can find a bunch of people not standing for the anthem. Who cares.


this isn't the meaningless BLM flag or the LBTQXYZ+ or the Trans flag that adorns your front lawn Lester. This is the flag of the United States of America, which for decades has been known as not just a 'symbol' but a beacon of freedom, democracy, and hope for millions around the world, not just us lucky ones here in this country. and thousands of braver individuals than you and i have fought and died to protect it. which took backbone, integrity, and the ability to put others before yourself, qualities you and 'Miss' Berry wouldn't know anything about.

This would be like if the band Stryper was holding auditions for a bassist, I showed up to prove that I was the man for the job, then acted all offended when they started talking about Christianity.

This athlete was trying to qualify to represent America at the Olympics, but is showing abject disdain for the flag, anthem, and nation as a whole. Why in the f$&k would you audition to be a part of something you hate?

during the scene at the center of this topic, does this person more closely mimic the actions of:
a) a 6 year old not getting a candy bar when Mommy is checking out at the grocery store
b) a political activist who has purpose and is ready to be ridiculed for their actions, but has a greater cause on their mind.

i'll leave the answer for you on the next page. feel free to flip ahead, grab it, and answer as if you have a lick of intelligence.

What it represents to you, may not represent the same thing to me. And neither of our representations may match Gwen Berrys.

Land of the free. Don’t pick & choose when you are & aren’t going to be a freedom flying patriot, hoss. Can’t just do it when it fits in your own box.

awww did my patriotism hurt your feewings?

wanna talk about it in a safe space? we still got a couple of days left in PRIDE month for that sort of thing.
or maybe you could wear a t-shirt over your head in shame or frustration?
poke your lips out and put your hands on your hip in disbelief?
