I thought haters like Gwen Berry only turned away from the Star Spangled Banner and the American flag when Trump was president because “racism” or something. Turns out even now, even after having Mr. Empty Head Biden installed, these communist, America hating thugs are still doing it. Roid munch Gwen Berry, an Olympic hammer thrower did it this weekend, embarrassing herself more than anything. I’m not going to bother watching the Olympics next month. I have no interest in watching a bunch of self-serving, America hating communists douchebags try and enrich themselves by winning medals.
A U.S. hammer thrower turned away from the American flag as she stood on the medal podium at the Olympic trials during the national anthem on Saturday, saying she’s “pissed” the Star-Spangled Banner was played as she received her bronze medal.
Gwen Berry — who qualified for her second U.S. Olympic team during the trials — shifted to face the stands rather than the flag before holding up a black shirt that reads “Activist Athlete.”
“I feel like it was a set-up, and they did it on purpose,” Berry said of the timing of the anthem. “I was pissed, to be honest.”
“They had enough opportunities to play the national anthem before we got up there,” Berry said in Oregon, where the trials are being held. “I was thinking about what I should do. Eventually I stayed there and I swayed, I put my shirt over my head. It was real disrespectful.”
Berry went on to call the playing of the national anthem a “set up” and that she didn’t plan on staging a protest.
‘”I didn’t really want to be up there,” she said. “Like I said, it was a setup. I was hot, I was ready to take my pictures and get into some shade.”
