To put it bluntly, things like this make our blood boil. We’ve covered athletes who are disrespectful to our country while “REPRESENTING” our nation. Now, we are frustrated we must do it again.
This article covers a multitude of athletes. When you click on this article from the Washington Post, it will have a pop-up scrolling window of other athletes who are kneeling for the National Anthem. These athletes clearly do not have a clue they are disrespecting our country.
We’re posting this because it covers a bunch of sports. So, if you choose to boycott and speak with your dollars – by all means, PLEASE DO!
This begins with a Bronze Medalist in Fencing at the Pan Am games. He knelt while his teammates stood (we thought there was no “I” in team…) to protest our President, social injustice, and even tossed in an anti-liberty snippet about gun control.
The article points out that he violated policy by doing so:
“Every athlete competing at the 2019 Pan American Games commits to terms of eligibility, including to refrain from demonstrations that are political in nature. In this case, Race didn’t adhere to the commitment he made to the organizing committee and the USOPC,” Mark Jones, vice president of communications for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, said in a statement Saturday, according to the Associated Press.
If there is zero action from the USOPC, we think that sends a strong message. If this happens, we strongly suggest a push to de-fund the organization by any and all means. Since everyone is into making “statements” now, we think that would be a grand statement.
We will not cover the entire article, but if you like the NBA, Soccer, Hammer Throwing, College Basketball, and of course the NFL – maybe it’s time to stop watching/supporting these sports.
We have to mention Kenny Stills of the Miami Dolphins. He threw a temper tantrum over Dolphins owner Stephen Ross exercising his 1st Amendment rights by hosting a fundraiser for President Trump. Obviously, this Prima Donna NFL player just doesn’t get the concept of this whole freedom thing we have in this country. If we were Ross, we’d cut him – he can go hang out with Colin Kaepernick on the unemployment line.
Readers, we love sports – but at this rate, we’re just going to stop watching, supporting, and attending games. Thank you liberals for ruining all that’s American, and sucking the joy out of life.
