What is wrong with people? Growing up, everyone stood for the American flag. Didn’t matter your politics, race, sex, income, religion; everyone stood for the flag. It was one of those civic rituals that brought us together. It still should today.

Imagine hating the country you represent but pretending you’re a hero standing up for principles you don’t even understand and you’ll be Gwen Berry. A disgrace.

She is a disgrace, pull this crap in any other country and guess what?.... she'd never be given the opportunity to do it again......yes she has 1st Amendment rights, she also has poor judgement and lacks morals.
That blue lipstick just makes her look like the clown she is.

Ed, where can I read or hear where Berry said she "hates the country"?

And where can I read or hear the President saying anything about Berry?

The White House press secretary suggested what “He would also say, of course, that part of that pride in our country means recognizing there are moments where we are, as a country, haven’t lived up to our highest ideals. And it means respecting the rights of people granted to them in the Constitution to peacefully protest.”

It's not even the first time an Olympic medal winner did something on the podium other than standing at attention while our Anthem or that of another country played. And it's certainly not the first time Black athletics protested during the playing of the Anthem.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

If America is so racist why are so many people flocking to America. We live in the greatest country in the world. If they don't like it here move to another country. I am proud to be an American

Being in the Limelight, and showing your grievance on National TV, is nothing more than a publicity stunt. To me, it's Ignorance to make a fool of yourself thinking your protest would mean something. NOT. It's already been done with Kaepernick, and you see where that got him right? Beside she does look like a clown with those colors on her, yeah, Gwen, you stood out alright just like BOZO.

Like it or not, when you are in a foreign country you are representing the United States of America. How you act or behave doesn't just reflect on you, it reflects back on our country and and therefore on all of us.

Other countries aren't seeing this and saying, Look at what she did, or look at what that athlete did.
They are saying, Look at what that AMERICAN did.
