White House press secretary Jen Psaki Monday defended U.S. track and field star Gwen Berry's decision to turn her back on the nation's flag, saying Berry was seeking to "peacefully protest" the moments that Americans "haven’t lived up to our highest ideals."
Berry, 31, placed third over the weekend in the hammer throw during the U.S. Olympic trials, earning her a spot on the team. As the National Anthem was played, she turned from the flag.

This White House would defend anything which is ugly, nasty, perverted, deviant, criminal, violent, illegal, anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-life and downright evil.
Count me in, #1.

Kick her out of The Olympics. Elevate the fourth place finisher onto the team.

The good news is that she has zero chance of getting on any podium...unless of course they develop affirmative track and field rules for her (which they may be working on).

Deleted. Replies should comment on article posted, not the opinions of other posters. Please review Rules & FAQs.
Gwen cannot help how she looks.
She does not belong on the U S Olympic Team.
She is a very poor example of a citizen. If she does not bear allegiance to the Flag of the United States, to what doe she bear allegiance?
It is really too bad that she cannot compete for Red China. Red China does not allow black people to compete.

She is a professional athlete and has sponsors. !n 2019 she lost at least $50,000 from sponsors because of her anti-American behavior. She'll soon lose more sponsor money because of her recent anti-American behavior.
In the 1960 Olympics gold medal boxer George Foreman waved a small American flag in the boxing ring to salute the United States. 200 meter gold and silver medalists, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, while on the medals podium, each raised a black gloved fist to salute the then active "Black Power" movement.
People remembered.
George became a multi-millionaire and was spokesman for the popular "George Foreman Grill." Smith and Carlos had mediocre careers and faded into obscurity.

As I've said before, she just wants a Victoria's Secret gig, since endorsements for hammer throwers can't be very many.

"#4: no personal reflections, please. It is not about appearance."

And we turn our backs on the White House because they 'haven't lived up to our ideals'.

I assume that she is shouldering all her own costs on her way to Japan. Certainly, she would not want to take any "dirty capitalistic" United States money.

And you can bet nbc has found their golden girl for these games. She won't medal but we're going to see a lot of her, regardless. As for her looks, the bizarre lip coloring and lashes are all about personal branding and setting yourself aside from the team 'caus that's how you get mo' money. Think, OBJ or Antonio Brown.

Anybody shocked by a BLM supporter hating our country. Hopefully this little commie will not be in the top three at the real olympics.

Go on with your bad self Berry
/sarcasm off
It's been a while since I really cared about the Olympics. Last time was the 1980 Winter Olympics for the Miracle On Ice run.
We needed that back then but I sure don't need Ms. Berry's ungrateful attitude now.
Begone pest and take your Olympics with you.

To enter into the little "appearance" dustup in this thread, to my eye she IS ugly.
Using a Classical Beauty checklist, I'd say there are no winners on that podium. But I see athletes who have just achieved their goal of representing the USA--and are proud to demonstrate it fully and publicly. I see two very beautiful women. The third one's inner ugliness shows through.

I mentioned this incident to my wife last nite, and she told me that Japan has stated they would not tolerate this kind of posturing at the Games.
Can anyone verify this?

After this stunt, she's still on the team. She was upset not only because the National Anthem was played, but they played it before she was ready to unfurl her tee shirt and turn her back. Add in the fact that she finished third, and her sense of outrage was more than she could handle.

Nothing surprising here. I firmly believe that the present administration hates America. What a bunch of losers.

Look at her photos. Everything about her says "Look at me!". Her appearance foretells her behavior. Somehow, she didn't ever learn that humility is a virtue. Instead, she has succumbed to the lie that rebellion is a virtue. She is simultaneously a pristine example and life-size caricature of virtue signaling!
