Today, sadly, many US athletes have fallen gullible prey to hard left ideology, forgetting the American system that got them to the Olympics in the first place. Former Olympian and NFL legend Herschel Walker comments on the issue.

FNC: Football legend Herschel Walker has a lot to say about Olympians protesting the American flag and kneeling before games, as spectators have observed in recent days during the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.”

“People think I’m very harsh when I say this,” Walker told Fox News in an exclusive Friday interview. “This is the United States of America, and if people don’t like the rules here — and there’s no doubt we can make some things better — but if people don’t like the rules here, why are you here?”

Walker wonders: Is the Olympics  “the right place” for Americans to trash their country, considering the presence of foreign athletes “who would love to represent the United States of America?”

Walker raced on the 1992 Olympic Team USA’s two-man bobsled team. He called the experience “one of the proudest moments of his life, coming from South Georgia and representing the United States…All of my brothers and sisters were White, but I was [more proud] than anything. I would’ve died for that group over in France if I had to,” Walker said of his team. “[They were] my family. … I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I grew up in South Georgia — never, never could have dreamed of anything like that.”

The former NFL player noticed foreign athletes would “come up and start talking about the United States of America,” who “want to beat you because they think we have it made…When I started seeing the United States flag and started seeing the people, the uniform, all my teammates from all different sports coming into that stadium — it almost brought a tear to my eye when I started thinking of where I grew up as a boy in my little hometown, and now having the chance to represent the United States of America,” Walker said. “I couldn’t have been more proud of anything.”
