[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did the skier have to say anything at all?  He’s entitled to his opinion, but I get the impression that he is trying to straddle a line in order to keep or land sponsors/endorsements. POTUS was pointing out, albeit crudely, that the skier represents the US and that’s all he needed to say. [/quote]

Why can't the skier speak about his views?  Moreover, why is a skier subject to more scrutiny than the President?  Perhaps the person who shouldn't have said anything is Trump.  [/quote]

They are getting asked by the press and others in every conversation. If they don't say they are against what is happening, they imply they are for it. I 100% support these statements.

Being called a "loser" by Trump is a badge of honor.

Are you saying that if someone doesn’t vocally oppose the actions of others, they support those actions?  Just want to make sure we understand The Rules.[/quote]

Let me break it down for you like you are 5. These athletes are from a country that is not just trampling on its Constitution by ignoring due process, not just abusing the human rights of immigrants with prolonged detentions without enough food or medical care, not just gassing it's own citizens, not just shooting its own citizens in the face and in the back and then refusing to prosecute the perpetrators, not just posting the most stereotypical racist memes and refusing to apologize -- not just all THAT, but also invading other countries and generally bullying, disrespecting, and giving the middle finger to the world.

These athletes are wearing Team USA uniforms and REPRESENT the United States. When people see their uniform, they think ICE! They think human rights abuses in 21st century USA! Everywhere they go, these athletes are being asked repeatedly how they feel about it.

If they don't separate themselves from it, OF COURSE they are associated with it. How could they not be?!

The same is true of every American in the US, by the way. If you are not denouncing the atrocities, you are a collaborator. The History books will be relentless and judge you as one of "Hitler's willing executioners."[/quote]

A country doesn't exist without borders[/quote]

We all know that and agree. It's telling that you choose to say [i]that[/i] and not denounce the violations of the Constitution or the horrific abuses that make us deeply ashamed. [/quote]
