The Beautiful US Women’s Olympic Gymnastics Team

The Beautiful US Women’s Olympic Gymnastics Team

I am a sports fan but not a fan of the Olympics. I can’t really explain why I prefer to read about its results rather than watch them. I admire the athletes, their physical prowess and mental determination. However, I do not watch any of the Olympic sports outside the Olympics and see no reason to watch them during it either. I am not a basketball fan. I don’t watch tennis. I don’t watch college gymnastics or track and field or archery or shooting or sailing or rowing or badminton or weight lifting or handball or any of the rest. But I do read about the results. I read about the disgraceful parody of the Last Supper and the LBGTQ display during the opening of the games. I shrugged it off attributing it as being typically French – who seem to have always been a bit libertine.

Nonetheless, I was struck by the picture of the US Women’s Gymnastics Team who won team gold. We all know about the star, Simone Biles. But look at the rest. If there is another better example of the American melting pot, I would like to see it. This is what DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) should be. Every one of the team members is of a different ethnic background. Remember when it was rare to see a gymnast of color? Perhaps the college programs changed when a large percentage of participants are now nonwhite. The American team is beautiful and shows all the whiners on the left that you do not have to lower standards to achieve equality. Here is the American team:

Simone Biles – black

Jade Carey – white

Jordan Chiles – black/Hispanic

Suni Lee – Hmong

Hezly Rivera – Dominican
