NFLSimone Biles PETITIONS to punish those chosen to be US flag bearers in the Olympics opening ceremony but KNEELING DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM – They insult the honor of the countryPublished 2 hours ago on August 14, 2024By Dennis Michael

In 2024, Simone Biles, the celebrated Olympic gymnast, made headlines not just for her extraordinary athletic achievements but for her bold stance on a highly contentious issue. Biles petitioned to impose penalties on athletes selected as U.S. flag bearers at the Olympic opening ceremony if they kneel during the national anthem, arguing that such actions insult the honor of the country. This move has sparked widespread debate, reflecting the deep division in public opinion regarding the act of kneeling during the anthem as a form of protest.

The controversy surrounding kneeling during the national anthem dates back to 2016 when NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick first knelt to protest racial injustice and police brutality. Since then, the gesture has become a powerful symbol of resistance and has been adopted by athletes across various sports, igniting both support and backlash.
