The Olympics are all about national pride. Countries sponsor their strongest and fastest to show off. So it is only natural that the athletes should be patriotic. But Olympic Athlete Gwen Berry doesn’t understand that. When our National Anthem played she turned away from the American flag in protest, shaming us. Rep Crenshaw this and knows exactly what to do with this anti-American athlete.
“Representative Dan Crenshaw (R., Texas) is calling for Gwen Berry, a hammer thrower, to be removed from the Olympic team after she turned her back on the American flag and covered her face with a shirt that said “Activist Athlete” during the national anthem on Saturday.
“We don’t need any more activist athletes,” Crenshaw said during an appearance on Fox & Friends. “She should be removed from the team. The entire point of the Olympic team is to represent the United States of America. It’s the entire point.”
He added: “It’s one thing when these NBA players do it — OK, fine, we’ll stop watching — but now the Olympic team? And it’s multiple cases of this.”
“They should be removed, that should be the bare minimum requirement is that you believe in the country” you are representing, he said.

Berry responded to the criticism:
“My purpose and my mission is bigger than sports. I’m here to represent those … who died due to systemic racism. That’s the important part. That’s why I’m going. That’s why I’m here today.”
“These comments really show that: 1.) people in American rally patriotism over basic morality 2.) Even after the murder of George Floyd and so many others; the commercials, statements, and phony sentiments regarding black lives were just a hoax,” Berry tweeted.
The Olympics are not the place for protest. Berry should be disqualified. It really is about countries showing off their best athletes and she is making us look bad with her ridiculous belief. She is a black woman at the Olympics that is upset about racism…
