The internet is forever - Gwen Berry edition

Remember Pouty McPoutface who came in third and turned her back on the American Flag?
Yeah, me neither even though this happened just a few days ago.

Seems she wasn't always an America hater - from the New York Post:

Old Gwen Berry photo shows her beaming while holding US flag amid Old Glory controversy

An old photo showing Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry beaming while holding the American flag has gone viral in the wake of her shunning the Stars and Stripes last week during the national anthem.

The image — which was posted to Berry’s old website in June 2015 — shows her exuding joy as she holds up the flag after she achieved her dream of representing the country at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Fox News reported.

Berry, 31, a two-time Olympic-qualifying athlete, incurred widespread wrath when she snubbed the flag on Saturday while the anthem was played at the Olympic trials in Oregon.

She reacted to the backlash by writing on Twitter: “At this point, y’all are obsessed with me.”

And she doubled down later by insisting the anthem is “disrespectful” to black Americans.

Amazing what seven years will do. Like I said in my earlier post, she lost any chance at endorsement with her little stunt.  Nike may be WOKE but WOKE is rapidly nearing its sell-by date. Predicting that it will be anathema in two years. Toxic shit that the liberals latched on to for some bizarro-world reason. Even they are waking up now.
