ESPN Writer Disturbed Over How Many American Flags Are At The Olympics
by Collin Rugg
On Monday, ESPN sportswriter William Rhoden said that he didn’t like the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics because he saw too many American flags that reminded him of the January 6th capitol riot and the “rise of White nationalism.”
“I love the opening ceremonies, march of countries,” Rhoden said on “CBS This Morning,” noting how he used to like the opening ceremonies. “Then I realized, you know, man, particularly after these last four years, I had it wrong. Nationalism is not good. We’ve seen the rise of White nationalism. Nationalism is not good.”
“And also, this whole idea — I keep thinking back on the Capitol riots, and I saw a lot of, you know, U.S. flags,” Rhoden stated.
“So now when I see the flag and the flag raised, what — what America am I living in? You know, are the ones that don’t think, you know, we should be here?”
The most woke athletes in the Olympics, the women’s soccer team and the men’s basketball teams, have proven to be massive flops in the 2020 Games. Rhoden says this is a good thing because it is “humbling.”
“I think we should be humbled. You know, I mean, this whole last year in this country — it’s about entitlement and privilege. Nobody epitomizes that more than basketball,” he said.
