Keep politics out of Olympics
As a kid growing up in northern Michigan, the winter Olympics were a spectacle of greatness of the alpine skiers I admired and wished to become. Unfortunately, liberalism aided by the MSM has destroyed every love of the Olympics I ever had.
Lets start with Lindsey Vonn. Ive followed every world cup race she ever competed in and cheered her for her victories and suffered thru her injuries. Never once did I waiver in my support of her. That all came to an end when she chose to become political back in December and chose to criticize our president Donald Trump and vowed not to visit the White House if invited. So, heres my Hollywood wish to her: Break a leg Lindsey Go Mikaela!
Next is the homosexual U.S. skater Adam Rippon who took offence to V. P. Pence attending the opening ceremonies and actually turned down a personal meeting with the V.P. by citing the false claim that V.P. Pence was opposed to gay rights. Adam Rippon is another product of left wing extremism, fomented by the MSM and I hope he catches and edge.
Last but not least, is the African-American narcissist speed skater Shani Davis who legitimately lost a coin toss that determined who was going to carry the U.S. flag during the opening ceremonies. The winner being a female, Erin Hamilton. Citing the race card, Mr. Davis chose to not attend the opening ceremony. Evidently Mr. Davis is not only a product of the entitlement mentality due to his skin color but a sexist as well.

The winter Olympics only comes around every four years and the last thing I want to see is the injection of politics by the privileged athletes who are representing MY country. Any athlete who chooses to put their negative opinions regarding this country or its President that they are representing in the public square should be banned from the U.S. Olympic team.
