Shot putter Raven Saunders raised her arms above her head on the podium and formed an 'X' with her wrists on Sunday night as she claimed her silver medal, in the highest-profile protest yet at the Tokyo Olympics. The 25-year-old American explained the crossing of her wrists as 'the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet'.(Snip) 'People tried to tell me not to do tattoos and piercings and all that. 'But look at me now, and I'm poppin'.' The athlete maintains an active Instagram account, posting photos of her in training and reveling in the nickname 'The Hulk'.
Don’t ever return here you ignorant woke traitor mental midget!

She’s not oppressed for the reason that she thinks.

Dreadful creatures are representing our country. I did not see this person receiving the medal along with multiple millions of others. I hope NBC loses billions because of the behavior of the athletes.

My gawd that is one ugly "woman". I'm not volunteering to do it, but if an exam was given I suspect they'd find outdoor plumbing. So did Jane Goodall train this one?

The protest was not effective if she had to explain it. Instead of doing something people understood, she just looked like a crazed idiot. Ugly American very full of herself.

#5, the same people who name their black boys "camel' (i,e., Jamal). OTOH, maybe they were thinking of Raven Symone, who is a Disney star and had a stint as the token lesbian on The View. Obviously, Saunders has a great role model. s/o

The Hulk? She looks more like something that would come charging out of the bush in Kenya.

I would ask what is she doing personally to help the oppressed? You know hands on, one to one aide or assistance? Anything? No she’s doing nothing but running her mouth. It’s what the woke do best.

Is that its bra that it’s holding up with the flowers? I guess that if I were that ugly, I’d be nasty too. But I wouldn’t go out in public, much less show my arse on the world stage.

Blah, blah, blah. Yeah, she's really oppressed. Is there a requirement for shot putters to be ugly and stupid?
"Poppin"? No, disgusting is the more accurate description. And why do ugly people WORK AT making themselves even more ugly? Like with green and purple hair, and bizarre tats and chunks of metal poked through holes in their bodies?

Maybe she poppin', but this sort of action will kill what's left of the TV audience, and thus interest in holding Olympics games at all. National heroes? No, we're offered broken people who need attention.
