Teachable Moments In Japan
Megan Rapinoe is so oppressed. "Where are the fans?" she wondered aloud in the Olympic glory of Japan to empty seats. "There's still a medal on the line", says the women who kneels for the anthem of the country that gave her so much, upon the U.S. Women's Soccer Team's first loss to Canada in 20 years which pushed the team out of gold medal competition.
Participation trophies anyone?
Fake oppression is the new black.
The disturbing gall with which this 'woke' idol demeans the nation, and the people which have given her so much is disgusting.
Olympic fencing athlete Race Imboden sported a black X drawn on the back of his hand for the fake oppressed.
"Some of the athletes communicated and decided upon this symbol to show solidarity for each other and support the oppressed," he explained in an Instagram story posted early on Wednesday morning, reported Reuters.
U.S. shot put silver medallist Raven Saunders also raised her arms in an X sign during her podium, which prompted the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to look into the gesture, added Reuters.
These petulant children deserve all the internet derision they've received as they sprint to the bank to cash those endorsement checks faster than Joe Biden cashes Chairman's Xi's bribe.
Meanwhile, the world ignored real oppression in Belarus.
Krystsina Tsimanouskaya defected to Poland after Belarusian coaches attempted to force her to run races she has never trained for after other Belarusian athletes were disqualified.
After voicing her displeasure to the coaching staff, Tsimanouskaya was allegedly forced to pack her things and head to the airport, where officials attempted to force her back into Belarus via a flight to Istanbul. Before she boarded the plane, she approached a Japanese Police Officer for help, and defected to Poland.
This is real oppression. This courage has real consequence like torture and repression for life.
Americans, and the world are growing tired of the fake 'woke' suffering in the United States.
Let's rid our republic of this Marxist nonsense.
Thank goodness those losers rejected the United States BEFORE they went to the O'Limpicks and made complete asses of themselves! Let the world no - WE in the United States rect those losers too!
An American using Belarus as an example of "real oppression" is like the pot calling the kettle black. The US has double the incarceration rate of Belarus and has other countries holding prisoners for them like Meng Wanzhou in Canada and Julian Assange in the UK. The government of Belarus doesn't try to lecture other countries on "freedom and democracy" while oppressing it's own citizens like the US does. Most of what Belarus does that the west calls "extreme" is the result of constant pressure from Nato to topple the presidency of Lukashenko. As for the US Olympic team members acting the way they do, this is the result of the soft, spoiled, decadent society the US has become, where, athletes who play games for a living, are treated like gods, while decent, hard-working people who struggle to raise their children in a good Christian environment are charged with child abuse. The people of Belarus see athletes as what they really are, people who play games for a living. Their devotion to their sport might be appreciated and applauded but are just people who play games for a living. If given a choice to live in and raise a family in the US or Belarus, I'd pick Belarus.
