The silver medal-winning shot putter raised her hands above her head in an "X" formation at the podium, likely violating rules against demonstrations at the games.
Saunders, 25, raised her hands in an"X" formation above her head on Sunday during a photo op at the podium following the medal ceremony where she accepted the silver for the women’s shot put event. When asked what the symbol meant, she told the Associated Press, “it’s the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet.”
Maybe she should storm the Capitol, that’s real protest!
Damn, I thought that was a dude.
So dumb. Not oppressed
I didnt read the article, what did this guy win?
She is the sweetest! 🥺🥺🥺 This reply section is full of dumba55 🤡🖕
Because a Chinese won the gold?
Not Hispanics. They are very successful. Businesses opening everyday Successful Family People
why are white people so easily triggered especially by this? lol
Every day I’m constantly reminded why I haven’t watched any professional sports and now any amateur sports.
Wow ….this thread is full of aholes 🤦♀️
No one cares
Black Friday shopper needs to SIT DOWN!
If you look at her body shape, she wasn't underprivilaged.
Well let's face it, most olympians are forgotten quickly after the Olympics are over aside from a select few, so this is one sure way to keep the 15 minutes of fame going.
Joggers are only oppressed by their sub 70 i.q.'s
Unproductive.
She, as a gay black woman, is representing America & is therefore the exact antithesis of the oppression she is protesting.🙄 And talk about complete disrespect to the organizers and her competitors. I hope they throw the book at her. Lost medal & ban from next Olympics.
The medal isn't what's important in her life.
Like landlords who have been oppressed.
Are you sure she isn't yawning?
This is why no one is watching
Maybe she's just a huge fan of the X-Men?
who is he? any one know?
Have y’all noticed it’s all people from America talking about oppression? Shits a fucking joke and a slap in the face to those actually oppressed.

Does she realize that does nothing?
Another reason why I’ll never be interested in sports ever again. Not sports anymore - just stupid politics. Sad.
Ban USA from any Olympic Games. That’s US problem, mess up every match.
So what country she from that the people are oppressed Wait....USA The most spoiled nation in the world! 🤐😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Who is oppressed? She isn't the Hispanics. They are starting successful businesses all in my city. They are Family People who are succeeding. Why do you think they are coming to this Country. Sounds like a personal problem.
Oh yes, she is so oppressed she is standing on an Olympic podium, with two unlikely colors of hair at the same time, receiving the applause of the world. I'd like to be so oppressed.
Why compete for a country you don't like?
