We have to have leaders that\u2026 are going to stand up and say the right thing. You can feel a certain way and I think that\u2019s great, but this is the United States Olympics\u2026. I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s the time or place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walker\u2019s comments came after U.S. hammer thrower Gwen Berry turned away from the American flag as the national anthem played. She later donned a black T-shirt with the words \u201cActivist Athlete\u201d near the end of the national anthem. And the United States women\u2019s soccer team kneeled before its opening-round contest against Sweden. Team USA lost 3-0 to Sweden, the first loss for the women\u2019s soccer team since January 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Walker, one of the greatest running back ever to play in the NFL, was a member of Team USA\u2019s two-man bobsled team at the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, France. He said being a member of the team was \u201cone of the proudest moments\u201d of his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen 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 \u2014 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,\u201d Walker said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t have been more proud of anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of my brothers and sisters were White, but I was [more proud] than anything. I would\u2019ve died for that group over in France if I had to,\u201d Walker said of the USA bobsled team. \u201c[They were] my family. \u2026 I couldn\u2019t have asked for anything better. I grew up in South Georgia \u2014 never, never could have dreamed of anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. two-man team finished ninth, just one second behind the gold medalist Austrian pair.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
