You’re a dude and nobody cares what your opinion is, sit down and STFU.

Also imagine what would happen to the transgender community at large if she did that? Hate crimes against transgendered people would skyrocket. It’d take the LGBT community back a decade.

That's not how the first amendment works, dude. I don't agree with it at all but we don't throw people in prison for that - if you want militant patriotism, then go move to North Korea or China.

I think it should be legal to burn the American flag, but if you do it on the world stage at the fricking Olympics, then your citizenship should be revoked. Sorry, I didn’t say criminally prosecute her, but you do that specifically representing our country and you say you hate our country by doing the most offensive thing to that flag possible, then don’t come back to the country. You are dead to us and what happens to you from here we don’t give one damn. frick off on this.

A dude that wasn’t good enough to make it as a dude in the Olympics and that can’t quite get in as a woman.

Arent political demonstrations banned by the Olympics?


Yes which makes it very intriguing to see what Sha'carri Richardson does if/when she medals in the 100m.

She's been quite frank and vocal that she plans to display BLM in some form.


Excerpt of her opinion:
quote:

The United States' Richardson, who has run the three fastest 100m times of 2021, responded: "I am a big advocate for Black Lives Matter.

"I’m a proud black woman.

"Part of why I’m so successful and I’m so motivated is because of my black history.

"And I definitely want to be part of that.

"[The IOC] has said their opinions and they said their restrictions but at the end of the day we as people, we have our own beliefs, we have our own rights.

"And they have to know when the right time is to stand for something right.

"You have to know, when you have that platform how to use it in the correct way.

"So I’m definitely going to show the world that Black Lives Matter."

"Forever and always."

I have no doubt that if the Olympics do not have a rule about burning your country's flag while on the podium, they will shortly. I am also pretty sure they are all sitting around thinking, "you know, that is just a rule we didn't think we needed. Sort of like the hot warning on a cup of coffee, but it is 2021."

A man, pretending to be a woman, competing in the Olympics representing the freest country in the entire world, wants to burn that country's flag to fight fascism. That is a word soup of mental illness right there.

They are not a private citizen while competing at the Olympics. They a Representative of the United States. They don’t get to go up there and do whatever they damn well please. You go and do something like this, you should be dead to us as a country and we should merely ignore from this day forward.

a nation willing to accommodate your delusions to the point that you would be able to deprive other women of a chance to compete fairly in their competition, and you want to disrespect it on the international stage

if that doesn't just go to show the decay we are undergoing as a nation, it's hard to find another anecdote quite as striking
