[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is amazing and I love her enthusiasm. It is weird that right wing Twitter seems to want to use her to make some sort of statement. No one has asked her opinions on racism or CRT or whatever issues the talking heads on both sides want to make a big deal out of, so who knows how she feels about any of that? And who cares? She is celebrating her gold medal. Leave it at that without trying to compare her to Megan Rapinoe or whoever. The right who got us no place telling Democrats they make everything about race when they do stuff like this. [/quote]

I think it is refreshing to see an athlete show such pride and enthusiasm for competing for her country.  
You can see she is really proud to be American.  
People don't care what her view on CRT or racism or any of that is.... AND THAT IS THE POINT.  
She is showing pure joy for competing in her sport and representing her country.  That is why people love her.  
And, she is not afraid to express her faith either.  [/quote]

I agree with you, which is why I don't think she should be used to try to score political points or make some sort of political statement. But that is what right wing Twitter is doing.[/quote]
