Tamyra Mensah-Stock: Proud to Represent America in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

Tamyra Menas-Stock: Proud to Represent America 

It is really refreshing to see an American athlete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics proud to represent America. Within the past 2 years, we've been seeing athletes at sporting events bend the knee during the playing of the national anthem.  On Tuesday, American athlete and world champion wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock received a gold medal in the 68kg freestyle category after her 4-1 victory over Nigeria's Blessing Oborududu.  

After her incredible performance in the ring, Mensah-Stock said she was "happy and proud" to represent the United States in the olympics.  The 28-year old athlete drew a a heart with her fingers with tears of emotion.  She had the American flag draped over her shoulder.  She told the reporter that she loved representing the U.S.  She stated she loved living in the USA and she was so glad to represent the U.S. in the olympics.  

I really enjoyed hearing about Mensah-Stock on the news the other day.  It's so great to see an athlete that loves America and is proud to represent the country in which she lives.  Does that mean America has no problems and that we shouldn't protest?  No.  However, there's a time and place for protesting.  And that shouldn't be taking place in sporting events such as the olympics.  At the olympics, we are there to represent our country.  As many flaws as America may have, I don't believe you will find a country greater than America.  I believe many of these people who don't like America stay in America because they don't know of another country which is suitable for them to live.  We have so much to be thankful for in America.  It really is soul-stirring to see a black athlete that loves America and is proud to represent her in the olympics.  I'm sure there are many things she probably doesn't agree with in America, but she's thankful to live in America.  This is one of the most inspiring stories I've read thus far in this year's summer olympics.
