The point is; What Gwen Berry did CAN be done in America. BUT if we go the direction of freaking out and making it a”federal case” (meaning, a big fucking issue) that one isn’t free to do so — THEN we’re acting more like North Korea.
Again, the problem is the USOC. They should mirror the IOC's Rule of 50. The sports arena should not be used to promote personal agenda's and should remain neutral. You are there to be an athlete and that is it. The throwers coach should cut her from the team because she is letting her personal activist agenda distract her from competition. Seems like I read Nike already dropped her. Anyway, someone else who has their head in the game should take her place. This is just a continuation of the crap we have had to put up with in the NFL and the NFL /individual clubs who can't even enforce their own rules that do not allow this behavior as part of their contract. She has the right to protest until she turns white, this is not the time or place. That should be made clear and those who can't adhere to these standards left at home. This is like saying she has the right to drop her tights and moon the audience.
Testbone, I can promise you that had I allowed this to happen at a football game when I was a coach, I would have been fired the next day for allowing it. Had I lost my mind and thought I could do this as a coach, I would have been escorted to the locker room and fired. With freedom comes responsibility. What is going to happen, is people are going to turn the TV off this summer when the Olympic is televised. This means a lot of people lose some big time money. People are fed up with these types of antics.
