    US olympian refuses to acknowledge anthem
    After finishing third at trials and qualifying for her second Olympics, hammer thrower Gwen Berry turned away from the flag while the anthem played before the start of Saturday's evening session. She found the timing to be no matter of coincidence.

    Odd considering it's the Olympic trials.

    She should consider doing something more effective to have whatever concerns she has addressed. She should consider making an effort to build up instead of exploiting an opportunity to criticize or tear down.

    Honestly, I don't know why she did this and I don't care. She needs to use her words next time if she needs the attention drawn to a cause.

        she says she was "set up", that the Anthem wasn't supposed to play at that time.

          That is not what she is doing though that is not her goal.

          Her goals are different...

          ..."My purpose and my mission is bigger than sports,'' Berry said. "I'm here to represent those ... who died due to systemic racism. That's the important part. That's why I'm going. That's why I'm here today.''...
          She's confused.

          Like I said, she should do more to be an activist than ply for division and hate.

              it's tough to respect an activist athlete that's so selfish that she thinks the world and everything happening in it revolves around her.

              I smell attention whore, not social justice advocate here.

              Someone prove me wrong, list her activism here, but don't pretend like it excuses her behavior.

                              there is an event for spear throwing. it's called javelin. the hammer throw is different.

                                Kick her out. If she doesn't like it here go live in another country. Simple as that.

                                  Fake outrage by being mad at the Anthem is getting old, even for those who actually do something for a cause, and not just create awareness among those already aware.

                                  It's all lip service and indicative of a a follower type attitude or lack of critical thinking skills.

                                  Activists need to create follower, not be them. That's their purpose and while follower beget more followers, that's not her intended goal.

                                  So what does she mean when she says this...

                                  ..."I'm here to represent those ... who died due to systemic racism. That's the important part. That's why I'm going. That's why I'm here today.''...
                                  What does that mean to represent them?
