Black US Olympic Bronze Winner Turns Her Back on the Flag

So you are probably curious to know what she did to win the Bronze Medal in the Olympics....? 

Are You?

Well if you are just a tad like me ..you are wondering what she did to deserve this?

Here goes.... she threw a hammer further than her competitors? 

I am not kidding ...

I'll bet her boyfriend sleeps with one eye open..

I sincerely believe they could have gotten a better thrower from the rioters and looters in Portland; they would have gotten the gold!

She said that playing the National Anthem was "a set up."

again, I am not kidding ...

I guess we have to thank her, because last week she said that if she won, she would burn the US flag on the winning podium.

 For the past week, they've played the national anthem one time a night at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials.

On Saturday, the song happened to start while outspoken activist Gwen Berry was standing on the podium after receiving her bronze medal in the hammer throw.

While the music played, Berry placed her left hand on her hip and shuffled her feet. She took a quarter turn, so she was facing the stands, not the flag. Toward the end, she plucked up her black T-shirt with the words "Activist Athlete" emblazoned on the front, and draped it over her head.

"I feel like it was a set-up, and they did it on purpose," Berry said of the timing of the anthem. "I was pissed, to be honest."

Berry's reaction to the "Star-Spangled Banner" took its fair share of the spotlight on a blazing-hot second-to-last day at trials that also featured some blazing-fast times.

Gabby Thomas became the second-fastest woman ever in the 200, winning the final in 21.61 seconds. The only woman faster: Florence Griffith-Joyner. And, as expected, Grant Holloway won the 110-meter hurdles, though his time in the semifinals was the eye-opener. His 12.81 was only 0.01 off the world record.
