As
US flags burn in the streets and monuments are vandalized outside the United
States Capitol, tensions in our nation continue to rise in the months leading
up to the election.
One
presidential candidate is stepping aside while another was nearly assassinated,
and I find myself looking for something good in the world to keep my mind off of
the lies, propaganda, and identity politics that we as Americans see on a daily
basis.
Hence,
the 2024 Olympic Games are nearly upon us! Finally, some positivity! The
majority of Olympic athletes have worked their entire lives for an opportunity
to achieve their dreams by representing their countries and participating in sporting
events for reasons other than money.
So
many perfect and uplifting stories exist as athletes from all walks of life
converge in competition for a few weeks in Paris this summer. I myself have always been a very big fan of
the Olympics and consider it to be one of the few remaining “pure” things still
left on our planet….Outside of the Chinese and Russian doping scandals, of
course…
This
refreshing spectacle, which only comes along every four years, provides viewers
with something different and unique. Games and events that are increasingly
more enjoyable than the standard Homo erectus favorites like American football
and basketball that are forced upon us the majority of the year.
At
the time when the Gregorian calendar reaches late July, most people prefer to
discuss who will play quarterback for the Steelers or what journeyman waste of
life the Pirates will acquire at the MLB trade deadline… Fortunately, here
comes water polo, handball, swimming, badminton, shooting, rowing, and
gymnastics, just to name a few. These are the games God intended biological men
and women to play since the beginning of time!
So
as the excitement began to mount and this fabulous summer extravaganza quickly
approached, my elation was dashed when the flag-bearers for the USA were
announced late last week. Surely I had to have heard wrong? We can’t
possibly have an anti-American carrying our beloved flag at the opening
ceremonies?
Much
to the disgust of many, Lebron James was the choice for the US Olympic Team. A
man who represents everything that is wrong in America and the world. A man who
has denounced and disrespected America time and time again? A man who has kneeled
and sat during the US National Anthem? A man who openly detests Caucasian
Americans, the police, and who unabashedly supports the genocidal communist
regime of China over the place that made him into a billionaire?
How
can this be? How can a person who attempts to vilify the United States and push
a racial divide be the person chosen to carry the colors that were first
marched into battle by the Continental Army in 1777 and were raised at Iwo Jima
in 1945, signifying valor, unity, and resilience? Lebron James possesses none
of these qualities, and it is an utter abomination that he will represent our
nation and those who have fought and died to keep it free for ungrateful people
like him.
I
will still watch the Olympic Games and enjoy them; however, I will not watch
the men’s and women’s basketball or support the USA teams in those sports.
Reprehensible frauds like Lebron James, Steve Kerr, and Brittney Griner will
not represent me in anything! Nor should they represent the greatest country the
world has ever seen!
