Respect for Their Country Is Optional: US Athletes Will Be Allowed to Protest National Anthem at US Olympic Trials
US Olympic Committee gets woke.
Starting this year US athletes will be allowed to kneel, sit, hold a fist up, turn their back on, etc. when the National Anthem is played at the Olympic trials.
Democrats call this progress.
No longer are students or athletes expected to respect their country or its flag.
The women’s soccer team is most pleased.
And any NBA players who play for the US will be used to this by now.
MSN reported:
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee will not sanction athletes for raising their fists or kneeling during the national anthem at Olympic trials, previewing a contentious policy it expects to stick to when many of those same athletes head to Tokyo this summer.
