And all this time I thought the athletes were representing the Nation. Now I know that the Olympics are REEEEALY endorsements of the political leaders of the country... Thank You Ms. Vonn.

Does it sound as dumb coming from me, as it does coming from her...?

She's an idiot, CPT Jack Durish! Two flags are shown here. One is the US flag and the other is the flag of the POTUS. Never in my entire life have I seen anything other than the US flag raised for a US Olympic medalist. Is she really that ignorant? Capt Jeff S. COL Jean (John) F. B.

Athletes, much like actors and actresses, are niche players ... and the fact that they excel in their niche ... gives them no magical insight into other things. Take Lindsey Vonn off the ski slopes ... and she is another know-nothing that thinks she knows something. I lost all but passing interest in the Olympics long ago ... when they became more of a professional venue than an amateur one.

She should be thrown off the USA team for injecting politics into the Olympics. If she can't represent all Americans, including the President, she has no business being on the team. This is similar to that lesbian US soccer (liberal football) player who was finally thrown off the team for her political actions (taking a knee). She is an idiot asshole, just like Kaepernick and all his asshole supporters.

At least karma struck Vonn, as she was injured yesterday and may not be able to compete in the Olympics. Although I really do not wish injury on any of the athletes and hope she has a full recovery, I do hope it prevents her from participating in he Olympics. If she is able to compete, I hope she gets her ass kicked in the events, even if it is by the doped-up, barred Russians who are competing for a different country than their own.

Vonn...
...poor form and bad juju to spout off.
Her Olympic performance will be sub-par...assuming she recovers from injury in time.

Now people won't care if she recovers. I don't.

You see, I disagree with politicians on the Republican and Democrat side. I could not stand and cannot stand Barack Obama as a president or a politician. But I am a service member and I fight for America not for the politician. In private with in the circles I operate in I will voice my opinion about politics. And Duty status and when carrying out a mission I pocket my politics and do the job. Lindsey Vonn chose to not be an athlete and instead became a politician when she made her statement so I hope that she will not get the opportunity to represent America in the Olympic Games. Any other athlete that decides that the Olympic platform will be Theirs to make a political statement should never be allowed to step on that stage.
