1. watching her during these Olympics

I did feel she was unhappy, period. Americans can be very hypocritical when it comes to sports POC that reflect the true state of american culture. I did notice she did not put her hand over her heart when the SSB played and I applauded as I chuckled and said to others, watch the media make hay with her personal choice. Well I was right. Too much going down in this country concerning RACE and POC for a truly aware individual to believe that fake ass camaraderre displayed every four years in wherever the Olympic bubble happens to be. I stopped watching . After Simeone Biles won. I always reach this point, every 4 years, With this world and our country slowly going to hell in a hand basket, this sporting event is not a distraction I need with police shootings, racists killing their next door neighbor because he was "a dirty Lebanese" and the New Nazi Party of America pushing their true agenda as personified by their fuhrer.
