Brittney Griner should be kicked from the U.S. Olympic team, according to Lin Dunn, because “you disrespect the American Anthem, you don’t deserve to represent this country.”

The controversy surrounding Griner’s selection for the American Olympic team reflects broader debates concerning protest, patriotism, and the demands made of public personalities.

The relationship between activism and athletics has gained prominence in recent years, with athletes like Megan Rapinoe and Colin Kaepernick coming under fire for their protest tactics.

These circumstances frequently draw attention to the conflict between individual liberties and group norms, particularly when national emblems and values are at stake.
