In a nod to Black Lives Matter, Costa Rican gymnast Luciana Alvarado ended her floor routine in Olympic qualifying on one knee with a first raised in the air. She said the closing was choreographed in homage to the BLM movement that was popularized after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police last year.
That’s love download n share that BlackLivesMatter songby our brother DonFloss and share it until they realize that Black Lives Matter
She should be sanction because the Olympics Games are not for make political propaganda
Should be kick out, it's the Olympics it's all about sport and friendship, not BLM or politics.
three tenths deduction?
The Costa Rica Idiot!!!
It's the new roman 'salute' that was popular in the 1940's
She should be disqualified. No politics in the Olympics.
She’s an asset protect her blm
So disappointing to witness! I suppose it's better than the black leather gloved hand being pumped in the air!
More Mail attempts to fire up its racist base. ‘In a nod to’, ‘in homage to’ BLM. When does she say she supports BLM the political movement? Barring a few commenters on here, the world is over it and comfortable seeing people express anti-racist values. Pathetic
Oh dear another minority wants her five minutes of fame, will they put a mural on the wall in Costa Rica 🙄👎🏻
bet that is gonna end well with governing bodies as sure they said no must not do it
So this is political now off it goes
Boring !!!!!
Honoring Colin Kaepernick! The American footballer who knelt due to the injustices and racism in the US. AP you should know better than that the knee is nothing to do with BLM so try harder bunch of 🤡s
And they wonder why viewing figures are down 35%.
I’d mark her down to a zero straight away.
She literally got last place in the floor routine……..
How sad.
This has triggered the usual Daily Mail racists I see!
Should of list points by introducing politics
How wonderful! Love people who use their visible podium for good. Thank you LucianaAlvarado for your courageous & human act. ❤️❤️ BlackLivesMatter
Wonder if she knows BLM supports the Cuban regime, the Cuban people are currently protesting on the island
People are going there for political stances rather than playing sports....
If you want to support Human Rights is one thing, but support an organization that support the Cuban regime is disturbing and so ignorant!
Anyone giving political message should be immediately removed, no matter what's the cause, it's about playing, it should remain about playing!
So tiresome, glad I don’t watch this crap
That is the black panther movement
Throw the white hate shite out of the competition!
This is getting tiresome now.
Oh ffs 🤦♂️
5 minutes of fame for a unknown gymnast. That's her reason.
Most people don’t give a shit what athletes think.
Woke moron.
Sick of this BS.
This is funny and sad all at the same time
This is getting disgusting
Anyone kneeling should be banned
every idiot goes crazy in his own way.
She needs to read what the movement stands for.
**Nike has entered the chat**
I really do not care anymore . They want to piss you off . Think I will acknowledge their First Amendment .
After a Nike deal?
This is so embarrassing
Nil points then probably
Well done her. Promoting social justice through sport. BlackLivesMatter
Which is why no one is watching this B.S.
