The Olympics are about our nation competing against other nations. If you want to embarrass our country by disrespecting it and using the Olympic games to selfishly put out some message that has nothing to do with the competition, you need to be sent home.

I am always amazed. Look at what this country has done for this idiot. Free college education, sponsorship, wealth, adulation, her full time job is playing a sport. All of that and she disrespects the country and all of us who support athletics.

    We are talking about somebody that barely made the podium in the US trials.

    Even @DJDuck doesn't think or care about women's shot put (or is it discus?)

    Exactly. This isn’t even an event the US is good at. She’ll be lucky to place in the top 15 overall. She got her 15 minutes of fame, good for her. Now when she comes back with her 17th place finish, she can be a nobody again.

    There's a way to compete in the Olympics where you're not a representative of a country. She could try and qualify by going that route. But that wouldn't get her the attention she is looking for. So instead she tries to qualify as a representative of a country she hates and leftists will treat her like she is some brave hero when the reality is that she is nothing but an ugly, selfish ingrate.

    The US Olympic Committee has the balls of the Slobberer and there will be no sanctions. They and NBC can wonder why the Olympics are hemorrhaging viewers. The Games are just bloated with dozens and dozens of non-core Olympic sports. Expensive as hell to sponsor it and now in the US any major city sponsoring the Olympics can expect visits from BLM and antifa. It would be like hosting the World Trade Organization on steroids. I used to watch a ton of it with my wife. Won't watch whatever they call the Chicom crud opening or the closing. Probably a little women's gymnastics and men's golf and a little track and field. No rhythmic gymnastics or canoeing.

    But some will. Kaepernick wasn't making any podium or even starting, but he still was a tolerated anti-American, pro kill BLdon'tMatter, and all around marxist POS. Don't even know if there will be a masked up march of the athletes. If so, someone will be waving a BLM flag and not the US flag. That will/would have been the focus.

    She is getting attention from the media. Even if she has no chance of winning why allow someone who hates the country to represent the country?

    Who cares? All she is doing is making an ass of herself and hurting her cause. 90% of the average Joe's and Jane's of the world know that if she pulled this stunt in half the other countries in the world she would be either arrested or killed. The large number of the other 50% would more than likely ban her from competition. The fact that the US is doing neither, proves that the US isn't the country she tries to make it out to be. She might get some support from the media and nutcases like Kobe and HHusky in this country, but from most of the world, she'll be seen as the sniveling, spoiled, and entitled athlete she is. Again, give her her 15 minutes. Kaepernick already staked his turf on the social victim platform. All she will accomplish is to have her name mentioned as an answer to an obscure question on trivia night at the local sports bar.

    I agree with what you are saying. My problem with this shit is I actually love watching track and field in the Olympics. I don't enjoy having individuals shove their politics into the games. It ruins the viewing experience. If one takes away from the spirit of the games regardless of which side of the "isle" they are coming from, they should have their opportunity taken away from them. Give it to people who are appreciative of what the games have always been about.
    On the topic of support for this fucking self absorbed and racist asshole, the entire rat media is behind her 100%. She spent the better part of last night texting "Fuck off" to all those who voiced displeasure at turning the games into a political side show. That kind of behavior has no place in the Olympics.

    Where there is smoke their is fire. As you said, she has the complete support of the US media and so will others. If it was just her, then screw her. But it isn't just her. Look at how LeBron got sucked into the BLM hate America arena. Now he got burned pretty badly, but not from the MSM.

    There is a time for it. There have been instances where activism in sports was appropriate. Specifically, when there was a goal and end game. (Ali and Vietnam comes to mind). This bitch has no specific thing that she is an “Activist” for. It’s just a bunch of subjective feelings out there in the ether. Not quantifiable or with a specific desired outcome.

    If you pressed this woman to articulate what exactly it was that she was "protesting" you know that you'd get nothing more than a string of buzzwords and slogans. "Systemic white racism" "nation founded on genocide and white racism" "3/5 human" "police hunting down black people"

    Still waiting for some college male tennis player to "transition", put on a wig and a bra and a dress and go win the women's grand slam and about $12 million of prize money. Seems like it would be worth it. The howling from the actual women feminists would be priceless.

    Richards started to compete on the women's tour at 42 not when he was 22. He played for Yale. Bobby Riggs won Wimbledon and at age 55 beat Margaret Court the number 2 women's player in the world. Speculation is that Riggs bet against himself then lost to Billy Jean King as he threw the match for the money and to settle some mob gambling debts.

    https://www.espn.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/9695268/outside-lines-story-causes-some-view-battle-sexes-match-differently-not-all

    When Don Boyd heard last month that Bobby Riggs might have thrown the Sept. 20, 1973, "Battle of the Sexes" match against Billie Jean King to erase a $100,000 gambling debt with the mob, Boyd says he shrugged: Of course Bobby Riggs threw the match. He all but told me and my brother that he was going to throw it. I thought everyone that was in the know knew this match was fixed.

    Boyd and his brother, Russell, say in June 1973 they were working summer construction jobs near the Bear Valley Springs resort outside of Tehachapi, Calif., where Riggs stayed for several weeks. Each day at lunch in the resort's clubhouse, the Boyd brothers say they'd see Riggs at the bar drinking liquor with a younger unidentified man and that Riggs eagerly chatted up clubhouse patrons, including the Boyds.

    "Well, we eventually struck up conversations with him over a few weeks -- he was always at the bar, laughing and drinking," said Don Boyd, 59, adding that he and his brother were joined for the lunches by their father and his business partner, both of whom are deceased. "And Riggs told us, 'It wouldn't do much good if a man beat a woman. There wouldn't be any money in that.'"

    A month earlier, Riggs had beaten Margaret Court in a nationally televised exhibition match, 6-2, 6-1, for which Riggs won $10,000 and a promise by Billie Jean King for an exhibition match later that year.

    "He talked about the upcoming match as if it was a joke, a farce," says Russell Boyd, 56, adding that from his vantage point, Riggs was doing far more drinking than training. "He just kept laughing about it … I didn't realize at that time that it was such a serious matter of him playing Billie Jean King, and that he was actually expected to make an effort to win." Russell Boyd added that his father's partner cashed in on Riggs' comments, betting heavily with a local bookie that King would defeat Riggs.

    would be nice if the other women or men competing as women, stepped up and told her to knock it off. If the other athletes are not going to piss and moan about her actions and future actions by other athletes, why should any of us watching care?

    Just quit watching until such time the politics are not part of sporting events. I mute ESPN and try not to watch those idiots

    Nobody would even know that she existed if it weren’t for her actions at the podium. Career wise, this is the best thing she could have done. She probably is getting some endorsement opportunities and some appearance fees.

    We are talking about somebody that barely made the podium in the US trials.

    Even @DJDuck doesn't think or care about women's shot put (or is it discus?)

    My Dad loved Sledge Hammer.
