I read where a lady posing as an American athlete turned her back to the flag during the Anthem at the Olympic trials. KICK HER A
@$$ OFF OF THE TEAM!
Then Jalen Rose has the audacity to call Kevin Love a "token" for being the only white guy chosen for the men's bball team. Full disclosure...I have absolutely no idea who is or is not deserving of being on the team. Why do I lack that knowledge? Because I haven't watched what would amount to a half of an NBA game since Bird retired. Hell, maybe not even a full quarter.
I'm pretty much done with today's athletes. Play your game and shut up!

Heck yeah! She should have her butt GONE!!! I haven't watched a sporting event in a while. I was a HUGE UFC fan, all MMA actually, but, I haven't even been watching those. These million dollar athletes think they have the right to judge a police officers intentions based on 30 seconds of grainy cellphone video with all prior context cut out. But yet they can't tell a strike or if someone's out of bounds without having millions of dollars worth of video footage to capture and watch back instant replays. I couldn't take the disrespect for out Country and Flag. Beating a dead horse, I know. |

I fired off an email to the USA Olympic committee today telling them that if she can't respect the USA there is no reason why she should represent it.

An Olympic hockey player once said (I’m paraphrasing) “The name (USA) on the front of the jersey is what is important, not the name i(the athlete) on he back of the jersey”.
Her grandstanding took away a great moment fir the other two competitors. Very few are talking about how good those two ladies did.
This young lady is MUCH more interested in promoting herself. This is not her first time doing this crap. She did the raised fist during another playing of the National Anthem. Nike dropped her after that but I think Puma picked her up.
Yes, she should be left at home but that ain’t happening. Most, if not all, sports organizations are very left leaning.

WELL I WILL WATCH SOME OLIMPIC EVENTS...
TRAP
SKEET
PISTOL
RIFLE
AIR RIFLE
ARCHERY
It would be nice if they had more coverage of these events then a mention when a medal is won.
It would be nice if they had ANY coverage of these events.
So probably I will have wait until they are put up on YouTube.

This woman should be gone in my opinion no questions asked. However as far as the rest of the athletes go I really enjoy high school wrestling here in Indiana so watching Olympic wrestling just goes with it. I have seen politics come to the surface of the sport via social media posts but have not seen any demonstration when athletes are on camera or accepting awards. Never say never but I hope they can keep wrestling out of the political scene.

I wish these people who happen to think the USA is so bad would move to another country Is it to much to ask for you to stand take your hat off put your hand on your heart stand with us as a country and take your political thoughts else where.
Here’s a thought join the military and fight for your rights maybe then you will understand why the vast majority of us think your not worth a dead pig

Last Thursday on Jalen & Jacoby, Rose said, "Kevin Love is on the team because of tokenism. Don't be scared to make an all-Black team representing the United States of America."
A couple of points...
1. If Jalen Rose is looking for a racist, perhaps he should start by looking in the mirror after the comments he made about Kevin Love being named to the Olympic team because of "tokenism".
2. Rose should also take a look @ recent Olympic history as his complaints about the United States not naming an all-black team because they are scared, holds no water as the men's basketball team for the 2016 Olympics was an all black team.

Rose also needs to recognize that better players were not chosen because they'll likely still be playing in the NBA finals up until 3 days before the Olympics start.

Have the athletes who hate America represent and live in the country they identify with. Deport them and see if they diss that country’s flag.

I do not understand why this is tolerated in any sports setting, but allowing it in the Olympics is a real head-scratcher.
You are there FOR YOUR COUNTRY. Anyone that accepts the accolades and benefits of being an Olympian and then turns around and spites their country is the worst sort of hypocrite.
