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:
Come on Can we NOT even Have the Olympics with Out Political Correctness and KISSING MUSLIMS ASSES ???
so sick and tired of all this bull$#%&!@* he earned his right to do so get over it morons
Wow, you lame brain news folks are just plain stupid. I am surprised that you got two brain cells that can generate enough of an impulse to get your sorry behind in gear. Let alone to piece together something that resemble speech.
Let take a CNN dump.
So that liberal waste of oxygen wants a Islamic wearing that offensive getup to carry our American flag, the same flag they regularly burn. The flag of the country Islam swears to dominate.$#%&!@*CNN and him.
He deserves it more than Hillary becoming president.
