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:
CNN$#%&!@*YOU… YOU DON’T DESERVE TO BE ON TV… BUNCH OF FUCKING PUSSIES WHO ONLY REPORT FALSE AND IMAGINARY B******T… GET OFF THE AIRWAVES
I have found that back in the day the best weapon to really bust somebody up with is a LED pipe you get 1 inch pipe and you can put on one end and you fill it with LED then you kept it on the other end it goes right through bone and crushes it I’ve seen baseball bats both wood and aluminum bounced off people’s heads not a lead pipe I suggest all Patriots keep at least one if not two or three 4 maybe even 5 these will be the best weapons to use against the enemies and traitors of the United States of America
It is because he worked hard for what he has. He represents America as he should and has every right to.
YES..Michael Phelps definitely deserves to carry the USA Flag !!
