No Respect: US Athlete Raven Saunders Risks Losing Medal After Flaunting Olympic Rules with Her Political Protest at Medal Ceremony

(From L) Second-placed USA’s Raven Saunders gestures next to first-placed China’s Gong Lijiao, and third-placed Australia’s Liam Adams after comepeting the women’s shot put event during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on August 1, 2021. (Photo by Ina FASSBENDER)

Saunders said afterwards that the “X gesture” represented “the intersection where all oppressed people meet.” She’s a victim.

She now risks losing a medal. What we do know is that if this is allowed we will now have to endure years of woke athletes parading on the medals stand.
Another institution destroyed by the left.

Aww, did the white old man feel threatened by someone making a stance about equal rights for people who aren't white old men? So threatened that her literally just standing there ruined the whole Olympics for you? Your fragility is hilarious, if it weren't so sad. 🤭🙁

@NerdyPotato America as well as every other country deserved respect from the athletes sent to represent them.
The Olympics is not a political forum.

@Budwick Human rights are not a political issue, so it wasn't used as a political forum. Human rights are an issue that affect every aspect of life, including sports.

This is the olympics not a forum for politics. She is there representing our country. Pretty fucking selfish of her.@NerdyPotato

@Hikingguy You're offended by her suggestion that your country values equal human rights? Why? Doesn't that represent your ideals or something?
