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:

Sheila Yeager Let me put it another way for you! Our founding fathers were white, 99.9% of the men in the Revolutionary War were white! They fought for our freedom, in that war with England! In the wars that followed 90% of the men and women that died for this country were white! I have never read, or have seen any evidence of blacks, mexicans, or muslims outraged that they didn’t die for this country! In my war, “Viet Nam” the ratio of white to black was 17 to 1, again no outrage from the BLM, NAACP, or any other non white gorup ! So the facts stand as witness to my comment! In America’s Civil War over 600,000 white men died to free blacks from slavery and not a single “thank you” has ever been offered to White America!
