A U.S. hammer thrower turned away from the American flag as the national anthem played while she and two other athletes stood on the podium at the Olympic trials Saturday, later saying she was “pissed” the “Star-Spangled Banner” played as she received her bronze medal.
Gwen Berry — who qualified for her second U.S. Olympic team during the trials — shifted to face the stands rather than the flag before holding up a black shirt that read, “Activist Athlete.”
“I feel like it was a set-up, and they did it on purpose,” Berry said of the anthem being played. “I was pissed, to be honest.
“They had enough opportunities to play the national anthem before we got up there,” Berry said in Oregon, where the trials are being held. “I was thinking about what I should do. Eventually I stayed there and I swayed, I put my shirt over my head.

Its really sad when you represent your country and can’t even be respectful to the National Anthem that so many people DIED for so that you could be where you are today. Totally DISGRACEFULL AND I HOPE YOU LOSE!!!!!!!
I thinl think the racist dirtbag ought to be disqualified! She deserves absolutely nothing! She made a buffoon of herself!
Read my post Tim. That’s how I feel they need to get out and go to the country you are proud to compete for. Get out and don’t go with the feeling that you have to come back.
ki
Get em outta here.
Do not let this scumbag go to the Olympic’s, she apparently has no pride in being American. Kick her off the team.
Exactly!
i concur!
WHO CHOSE THIS PIG TO REPRESENT OUR COUNTRY ???
Some “woke” pig on the Olympic Committee! This has been going on far too long! The Olympic Committee is another corrupt “woke” abomination!
That woke must be sued for wasting money
SHE would be great in a Pig Contest!
If America is so bad why does everyone
want to live here!
GO LIVE ELSEWHERE! WE WON’T MISS YOU!!!
Bingo !!!
BULLS EYE.. !!!
Just wonder why that racist want to represent the country that she hates so much ?, everybody will be very happy if that traitor get the hell out of our country and perhaps she would like to represent any country in Africa, or Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Communist China, so many nice places for her to, try !!!
I’m sick of this shit with the national anthem. I was a member of the first US Jr karate team and also a member of the Sr team. There was nothing that made me feel better than to hear my countries anthem knowing that meant a win. If you are not proud to be an American get out of my country and go where you are proud of and we’ll see how happy you are then .Bottom line not proud to be American GOODBYE GET OUT AND DON’T GO AWAY WITH THE FEELING THAT YOU HAVE TO COME BACK
What has happened to Olympic sports. I used to love watching and supporting. Proud of our US teams. That said, sadly I believe it time to boycott the Olympics, since they will not police themselves. It is, after all, the US, that’s the United States Olympic team. If they have animous or cannot stand proudly, respect their team, respect their flag and respect their country, they should be removed from the team……period! This includes social media posts. When you are part of a team, your words and actions reflect, impact the whole team and yes, country. They are sports ambassadors! Remove the dissidents now!
Couldn’t agree more
Hang
SO WILL WE EVER SMARTEN UP AND KEEP THESE AS SHOLES FROM BEING FUNDED TO GO TO THE OLYMPICS TO EMBARASS THE WHOLE NATION ????
Well, I just heard the whole US Olympic Committee is “woke” and supports this crap!
Whaky more likely. Just more incompetent as sholes
do not allow this POS participate in the olympic’s hell do not allow her sick ass to participate in any sporting event in the United States not even a wipe your ass tournement
If they can’t show the proper respect to the COUNTRY for which they are supposed to be representing, then they should not be ALLOWED TO COMPETE, PERIOD! “AMERICA, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT” you Snowflake Punks!
Athlete? Debatable.
American? NOPE!!!!!
Probably Obama’s daughter!
SHE SHOULDN’T EVEN STAND FOR AMERICA I’D KICK HER ASS OFF AND GIVE SOMEONE THAT IS PROUD OF BEING AT THE OLYMPICS TO REPRESENT AMERICA !!
Problem is the whole US Olympic Committee is “woke” they support this pig and they support the freak transgender who is going to burn the flag! They all need to be kicked the hell out of this country!
Always an excuse!
Another typical black trouble maker.
She is probably in the BLM! Spent last summer rioting looting & burning!
You’ve probably nailed it brother, she’s a thug !
I am sick of “entitled” trash like this freak!
Average demented uneducated brain dead as shole
Invite this ingrate to leave the USA and go to the country of her choice.
She won’t leave! She can’t get Welfare or Foodstamps or participate in BLM riots!
SCUM. NON AMER’S
Superb idea Mega… couldn’t have said it better myself… Praise God !!
This Gwen Berry does not have the right to represent our country. If she cannot show respect while the National Anthem is being played, then she has no right to represent our country.
How dare she turn her back on the flag!! Anyone who feels this way should not be allowed in the Olympics. This is not a popularity contest, this is representing your country & if you are disrespectful, then you should not be allowed to participate. Let her go to another country
Ghetto trash is what she is!
Since she obviously objects to representing our country in the Olympics, she should be dropped from the team, along with any other “woke” athletes. Tell her and her “friends” to go try out for China’s team, we have no use for her or her attitude.
Why does she stay in a country she hates? For the time being, this is still a free country–she can leave and there’d probably be a lot of people who’d help her pack. I’m sure communist China would love to have her (and she wouldn’t be free to leave). It would be easier than staying here and trying to change everyone else. Her (and those like her), are staggeringly ignorant on so many levels. Proud Americans are much better off without her ilk–please leave woman!
I have to tell you, I would ban the little shit from ever taking part in national or international competition for rest of their life. That little act was completely outrageous and unsportsmanlike.
This racist narssist pig is not interested in sports! She wants attention! She looks like a freak to me!
How does a racist like Gwen Berry think that she can represent the USA? Berry is a disgrace.
She should be removed from the team.
She needs to be barred from the Olympics and from being from the USA. If she hates it that much…..she needs to leave the country. Doesn’t she know the planes are flying now. By those actions, she will turn people against, which she would deserve. US win or not; I hope she isn’t eligible and if she is, then I hope she loses. IT appears like she is one of the spoiled brats that take things for granted, expects things her way and throws a tantrum if she don’t get it. I am very offended with people like that….so bar her from representing the US>
Strip her of her medals, and send her home with no honors. If she’d not proud of her countyry, she has no business being at tihe Olympics
