This week, Michael Phelps carried the American flag into Maracana stadium during the opening ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympics. He was selected by his peers on Team USA after becoming the most decorated olympian in history, having won 22 medals and appearing in four previous Olympic games. Despite his many accomplishments, however, some are trying to argue that he didn’t deserve the privilege to carry the stars and stripes into the arena.
The Olympics — and especially the opening ceremonies — have long been recognized for their distinct lack of politics. Warring countries have marched alongside one another at multiple games in displays meant to show unity despite the world’s many ongoing conflicts.
Some, however, are trying to inject politics, political correctness, and accusations of white privilege back into the games. See who many thought was a more worthy flagbearer on the nest page. Be forewarned, it had nothing to do with her athletic ability:
Proud for USA HE IS TRUE CHAMPION.GOLD MEDALIST BLACK PEOPLE JUST JEALOUS HAAAA
so what do you expect from the Communist New Network?
Don’t go away mad. Just go away. Enough already.
Who enjoys his pot. Gold Baby.!!!
I can only repeat what Scott Caron has already commented.
Suck it CNN dickheads
Politics and the Olympics does not and should never be together
CNN is evil at the core. The whole organization is behind Hillary and the death of the American way of life. I could not believe my ears when one of their young black commentators said “America is not white anymore” really! how racist can one be. I do not care what color you are!!!!! America was founded on and grew upon Christian faiths. Those who had the nerve to sand up to the the King of England were white! Get over it. Blacks owns slaves and America belongs to all who wish to live h American dream not the black dream, brown dream, Muslim dream. If the color of your skin is what is most important to you, you have lost the idea of the American dream. 10,000 of WHITE men died to free your black ancestors. Stop shaming them.
CNN needs to
be closed down. too bad they gave NO PRIDE FOR WHO THEY ARE. they are deplorable
What kind of bullshitt is that
