A US hammer thrower turned away from the American flag as the national anthem played while she and two other athletes stood on the podium at the Olympic trials Saturday, later saying she was “pi**ed” that “The Star-Spangled Banner” played as she received her bronze medal. Gwen Berry — who qualified for her second US Olympic team during the trials — shifted to face the stands rather than the flag before holding up a black shirt that read, “Activist Athlete.” “I feel like it was a setup, and they did it on purpose,” Berry said of the anthem being played. “I was pi**ed, to be honest.

FWIW, I think "piqued" works for that, too, O.P. ... both in general meaning and in passing the profanity filter.

She just pegged my 'I don't give a Frick' meter to the max. Who cares about this self centered quota snowflake and her selfish little tantraum?

Trying to figure out whether her problem is more arrogance, entitlement, or just plain stupidity. Whichever it is, she has no business representing a country she so clearly despises.
Babylon Bee summed her up beautifully in an article entitled “Athlete So Oppressed By America That She's Representing America In The Olympics”

Surely this self-centered, disrespectful, ungrateful wench has seen olympic level competitions before. They always play the national anthem, it was not a set up, you ignorant punk!

The article doesn't go into detail about how many American athletes competed for those spots. If there was a #4, she should be given the ingrate's spot on the team.

The clown makeup really complements the chip on her shoulder, btw.
"they did it on purpose" ... of course they did. They tend to play the national anthem of those who win, place, and show in each competition at these events. So they deliberately played the anthem. Just like this talented jerk is deliberately acting like everything revolves around her.

Go find another country. I am sick of all these stupid protests and tearing down everything that makes America what it was. Malcontents can get the F out. I have had it with them all.
There are 195 other countries out there. Pick one and leave.

Why won't people like grumpy Gwen (America hating hammer thrower), mean Megan (America hating soccer player), and other "Activist Athletes", who are fortunate enough to make a living playing games and complain about the country who allows them to do so, just move if we are so bad? These ungrateful people are able to find fault with everyone but themselves. Maybe their problem is not the USA, the problem is them! Their biggest problem is the chip on their shoulders.

would somebody put this clown back in the box he came out of. First off a man who insists he is a women or girl is insane. Just because the idiots running our governments and institutions pretend to agree with him makes them insane as well. You can pretend to be a chicken or a goat and yet you will not be served as lunch on anybody's menu.

#1, that creature isn’t intelligent enough to use a word like piqued. You can bet that it’s not part of her very limited vocabulary.
She needs to be booted from the team and sent to live in a country more to her liking. How about Chad?

I'm p---sed that a freak like this is allowed to represent our country.
As sports go, I can't really think of one that is more useless than this one; maybe that stupid curling thing where they slide a flat stone and make it go farther with a broom.

What did she expect? Barry Manilow singing "Looks Like We Made It"? The US National Anthem was played at the US Olympic Trials, well, duh. Don't like it, don't participate.

This stuff has to be stopped!. We've been tolerant too long. I remember those two idiots back in the sixties and their black power salute. That's my first memory of it and they should have been taken off the team and sent home. If you want to compete for our country you had better be ready to honor it; particularly if you want some positive recognition back.

If she does not get kicked off the Olympic Team and/or if other good American olympians refuse to blast this disgusting behavior, then the “U.S.” Olympic teams just don’t mean much anymore. She is getting way more attention than she deserves!

She did pretty bad in 2016 and isn't doing much better this year. Maybe she needs to get a real job and stop sucking up taxpayer money.

I don't care if she can throw a hammer a mile and a half she does not belong on the American team.
If we cannot find a contestant that loves America we need to just drop out.

It is an HONOR to represent America at the Olympics. She was pi**ed?
"CANCEL" HER participation ASAP. Even if the replacement loses, it doesn't matter. Instead, send Berry home to be sniffed and groped by creepy Joe, HER champion.

Seems like she is competing for the wrong team. Her loyalties seem to lie with some African nation, rather than the United States. Perhaps she should immigrate there and compete for them. It was all a setup. It was all about her. Do these people ever learn any respect, any dignity, any empathy for others, any lover for the country that allowed and encouraged them to be the best?

She's just embarrassed she got whupped by a couple of white girls.
I'm surprised she didn't allege the hammer called her the "n" word, causing a subpar performance.

Someone on The Five pointed out that it was selfish of her to make the news about her and steal the joy of the winner receiving the attention for her achievement, regardless of the "cause" she was promoting. I agree.

Gwen Berry is not a team mate that I would like on my team. She turned a celebration for Deanna Price (world record and 1st place) and Brooke Anderson (2nd place) into her own celebration of disgust at our flag. Go away Gwen, the US Team does not need you. Go away and worship the black flag of the BLM movement. Just like the Pirate Flags of old, a flag not worthy of being sailed under.

This P.O.S. has no business being on the American Olympic squad.
She says herself that she does not 'represent' the USA.
and 'Representing the USA is what those athletes are there for
so.....
Who is the Jerk who selected her?
Why, after her nasty statements, is she still there?

I never heard of the beach, but the picture shows the 2 white contestants facing the flag, and the black one not. I feel so bad that my white privilege pi**ed her off. Poor baby.
