In the US, yes, not every nation. Doesn't change the fact that the nation is listed next to the name and that anthem plays when they award a gold. You think their corporate bankrollers would stand for it if the athletes disrespected them by turning away from a corporate logo or badmouthing the brand?
How come we don't see athletes from China, Iran, etc. taking a knee or turning away when their nations flag is shown or anthem played?
