Dan Crenshaw Wants Gwen Berry and Other Olympic Activist Athletes Canceled
Dan Crenshaw appeared on FOX & Friends this morning. He was asked about Gwen Berry, the US Olympian who turned her back to the American flag during the National Anthem at the US Track and Field trials over the weekend. Crenshaw wants Berry removed from the team.

"We don't need anymore activist athletes. You know, she should be removed from the team."
That's a bold statement, and a spicy sports take from someone who apparently wants politics out of sports. Some people might think this sounds a lot like cancel culture, which Crenshaw has often said he would like to cancel.
These comments really show that:

1.) people in American rally patriotism over basic morality
2.) Even after the murder of George Floyd and so many others; the commercials, statements, and phony sentiments regarding black lives were just a hoax
As the national anthem played while Gwen Berry was on the podium after qualifying for the Olympics, she turned away from the flag and draped a T-shirt with the words "Activist Athlete" over her head.

Crenshaw also added this shot at the NBA, whose ratings are up actually up this year.
"It's one thing when these NBA players do it. We'll just stop watching."
Good luck with what I assume will become a boycott of the, uh, hammer throw event by upset Americans.
