Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry has refused to stand down from her protests of the National Anthem. In an interview on Friday, the Olympian said her protest of the National Anthem after placing third at the trials last month was misunderstood.
In recent weeks, some Republicans have called for Berry’s removal from the team. However, Berry responded claiming it is very American to protest the country and that she is only protesting what she sees as unfair treatment of non-white Americans.
