OPP Poll.........Disrespecting US during Olympics.
Are you OK with athletes taking the knee during Olympic Games?....Personally if I see any athlete protesting the Flag or American Anthem during Olympics, that's it for me!! Sports ,especially during Olympics should be unified, NOT the divider! We ALL should feel lucky that we live in great country like America, where you can express your believes without fear of being killed!! Try and do this in China and see what happens to you!!! I LOVE this country of ours, where I can express myself without being thrown in prison!! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR ATHLETES!!

They walk into the stadium behind the flag during the opening ceremony. If they win a gold medal the anthem is played. If they cannot respect the flag or the anthem they do not belong on the team.

No they should respect and be proud of the flag and nation, if they aren't, they shouldn't represent it.
If you believe it's unjust, then tell us on your time, not while representing our country.
Same with professional athletes. When "at work" you aren't free to express your political views. You are representing your city or state, so show respect or have the balls to quit. I'd love to see "equity" hit the NBA or NFL. Can you imagine if next year LeChina James LA Lakers had to be 8 white people, 2 black people, 2 Asian/Pacific Islander, and 3 Hispanics.
How do you think that hypocritical POS would feel about "meritocracy" then.
Sure. Shows how great our country is that these woke asshats can protest the country that gave them a chance to be on the world stage. A country so great that I was comfortable rooting against the little woke bitch’s.

I think if these bitches will do their protesting, the ratings for Olympic Games will be down, because most Americans won't tolerate their hate for US!

Just one more sport I want support. It's been my experience that people go to ball games and other forms of entertainment to be "entertained'. I don't want to pay for your politics. I don't care what or who you believe in when I'm at a game "it's for fun" not politics.

It is unacceptable. They play/compete for "Team USA." If they cannot show respect for our country, our flag, our anthem then they have no business being allowed on the team. I believe they should have their medals taken away from them if they kneel ... or disrespect our county, our flag, or our anthem in some other manner. This kind of behavior has ruined the Olympics as far as I am concerned, and I have no interest in watching any of them compete.
Sports used to be a fun diversion. Now, whether it's the Olympics, the nfl, the nba, the mlb, etc., it's simply more of the same divisive political games we see every single day. I'm sick of it.

Stalin would be impressed a sports event turned into a political re-education camp
