Coward isn’t the word. They are excited and proud about winning the gold medal, and they have every right to be. Other people making it political in one form or the other isn’t their problem.
It’s an invitation from the leader of the country they represented. It’s very normal and is happening all over the world right now in different countries who are celebrating their accomplishments during the winter Olympics. Unfortunately now after the fact, there are a lot of people trying to use them for various political ideologies.
They had Kash Patel, a polarizing, politically appointed baffoon, in the locker room celebrating with them. They drank and put good medals on him while he misused US property and funds to be there. THEY made it political.
We don’t have to let people like Kash or Trump try to make it about themselves, and we don’t have to try to force something onto the athletes that they never intended or stood for. It’s disgraceful that we can’t simply celebrate with them, disgraceful that powerful politicians try to steal their glory, and disgraceful that certain leftists are too full of anger to allow themselves to enjoy life for even one second.
