So we had to endure another rendition of the alternative national anthem at the Super Bowl, by Charlie Puth and anti-ICE sympathizing, Bad Bunny celebrating everything except America, and now all these US Olympians using their platforms to disparage America over policies they may not agree with, but are supported by a majority of Americans who democratically voted for them. First of all, these brainless journalists with an agenda have to stop poking the bear and asking these adolescents leading questions on topics they have no business commenting on, having lived cloistered lives in training surrounded by a cocoon of trainers, coaches, family and like minded athletes. They made it to the Olympics based on athletic talent not their acumen in government affairs, geopolitics, economics and immigration, let alone pesky little details like the Constitution. Further, this attempt to paint Trump as being a threat to the LGBTQ community is preposterous. There are gay members in his administration that he chose based on their abilities, not their sexual orientation and he has never shown a bias towards the Ls the Bs or the Qs. Now if not allowing men to compete in women’s sports is your definition of discrimination against the Ts you probably should take a survey, because polls show that the LGBs are not all that enthralled with the Ts on that issue. And neither are actual female athletes. So how about we stop looking like opportunistic asses on foreign soil and stop criticizing the country that got you there. It’s a bad look. Come home and join an anti-ICE protest, move to Minneapolis, adopt a Somali…..whatever floats your boat. But until then, stop airing our dirty laundry with our flag on your chest at the Olympics. It’s unbecoming and alienates half of your country. We want to support you, to like you, to cheer you to victory. Please don’t give us a reason not to.
