Hhere's the BLUF:
If you feel the need to show disrespect towards a nation that provided you the opportunity to compete in the Olympics by kneeling during an anthem or turning away from a flag (symbols of that nation), then you shouldn't be allowed to compete for them to begin with.
Winning Olympic gold is a gateway to fame and fortune, going all the way back to being on the Wheaties box and even before that. I'm happy to give a shot to someone else who has a greater appreciation for the opportunity they've been given.
