"If you’re
competing in the Olympics to represent the USA and you disrespect our country
by disrespecting the flag or our national anthem, that should automatically
disqualify you from the team. No ifs, ands, or buts. Gwen Berry is a
self-defined athlete activist who turned her back on the American flag when the
national anthem began playing after her qualifying trials this Saturday. This
is not the way, the time, or the place, for activists to protest. Most athletes
are deeply honored to represent the United States of America, still the
greatest nation on
earth to live in."
- Rev. Franklin Graham
Activist Gwen Berry was standing on the podium after
receiving her bronze medal in the hammer throw when she turned to face the
stands, not the flag. Read the article here at Fox News.
