U.S. Fencer Kneels During Anthem, Trashes America at Pan Am Games in Peru

[The Purge]

Another little douchebag that needs to be deported to Venezuela..... don't like it here...get the fuck out!

He's also a fashion model, btw. Looks like an epic douche to me.

American fencer Race Imboden deserves induction into the "Hall of Shame" for kneeling on the victory stand at the Pan American Games and dishonoring his country on social media Friday. The Democratic Underground certainly loves his tweet blaming a "hateful" President for his pathetic protest, and Bleacher Report gave him a platform for encouraging other athletes to disrespect the U.S. flag.

Along with teammates Gerek Meinhardt and Nick Itkin, Imboden helped the USA defeat Brazil, 45-23 in the team foil gold-medal match. Meinhardt and Itkin were the real heroes of the day Friday ― for standing, for representing the United States with dignity and for respecting all who sacrificed for the freedom we enjoy today.

Shamefully, Imboden proudly posted a photo of his despicable act on Twitter along with a sorry explanation:

"We must call for change. This week I am honored to represent Team USA at the Pan Am Games, taking home Gold and Bronze. My pride however has been cut short by the multiple shortcomings of the country I hold so dear to my heart. Racism, Gun Control, mistreatment of immigrants,

"and a president who spreads hate are at the top of a long list. I chose to sacrifie my moment today at the top of the podium to call attention to issues that I believe need to be addressed. I encourage others to please use your platforms for empowerment and change."

Easy answer. Trash our country while out of state representing us? Don't come back. Passport null and void.

Here you go again. You support freedom of speech only when the speech fits your narrative.

 

[hjmick]

Wow...

So many triggered by someone no one has ever heard of competing in an event most people didn't know was taking place...

It's nice that you all have a place to freely express your opinions and exercise your right to free speech.

It's a shame you don't want to extend that right to people who don't share your opinions...

They all "hold their country dear" while hating it. Cognitive dissonance.

 

[DOTR]

Lets just get on with cleaning up the country. Entitled twats will always make noise.

Its always the entitled, the wealthy, the privileged who hate Trump and the American people. That should tell us something.

 

[aaronleland]

I don't care if somebody wants to protest during the National Anthem, but I'm tired of the kneeling thing. Come up with your own thing already. I don't know. Sit Indian style. Do jumping jacks. Take your turn on Words With Friends.

The fencer kneels and later, the kneeler is going to fence.

Interesting, no?
