Black lives matter when there's a buck to be made from corporate America. But most of the time they don't matter at all, at least not to BLM.

quote:

Costa Rican gymnast Luciana Alvarado took a knee and raised a clenched black power fist at the end of her floor routine, paying tribute to leftist anti-police activist group Black Lives Matter while skirting the International Olympic Committee (IOC) protest rules.

Alvarado, the first gymnast from Costa Rica to qualify for the Olympics, confirmed to The Associated Press that she was honoring the BLM moment.

Sounds like the 'taking a knee' virtue signaling is quickly approaching its 'jump the shark' moment.

If the IOC had any balls, (they don't) the would remove her routine and her name form 2020/21 for all eternity (they won't).

Jamaica sending a bobsled team was more impressive.

As big as that dude is, he may just be taking a knee to catch his breath.

Aren't tens of thousands of Costa Rican flocking here illegally?

I mean, if we are such a racist nation, why not do them a favor and ship them back?

Wonder what would happen if a gymnast finished her floor routine with the OK sign in her salute.

Costa Rican gymnasts are obviously eating well.

So not during the playing of the national anthem, then?

Exactly like every true American has said all along. One can support a cause, while not disrespecting the flag that unites us all
