What an insane time we live in that you could win a medal for your country and be harassed.

They're not patriotic. They'd rather have any other country with a more feminine looking competitor beat us just to spite an American woman for being tall, having muscles, cutting her hair short or dying her hair a non-traditional color. This is a recurring theme for them. Only thing weirder than being super nationalistic about sporting competitions is hate-watching your own country and rooting for them to lose.

They’d actually rather have neither playing sports at all. Unless it’s an ironic “Powder Puff Game” during homecoming. It’s unbecoming of a girl to play in any sport.

It’s something they’ve hung on to that society began to grow out of back in the 1950s. What a weird thing to cling to for some long. It’s all just so weird.

Not really a new phenomena.

Smith and Carlos were largely ostracized by the US sporting establishment and they were subject to criticism. Time magazine on October 25, 1968, wrote: "'Faster, Higher, Stronger' is the motto of the Olympic Games. 'Angrier, nastier, uglier' better describes the scene in Mexico City last week."[18][19] Back home, both Smith and Carlos were subject to abuse, and they and their families received death threats.[20] Brent Musburger, a writer for the Chicago American before rising to prominence at CBS Sports and ESPN, described Smith and Carlos as "a couple of black-skinned storm troopers" who were "ignoble," "juvenile," and "unimaginative."

And he never apologized for that, either, the fuck. Fuck that asshole.
