Candace Owens PROPOSED TO BANN Brittney Griner: ‘I would rather have a player who represents America who loves America than a medal. We would rather have the less safe player who is the most patriotic. It is not about winning or losing, it is about representing the country and the honor of the country.’
Candace Owens has stirred controversy with her recent proposal to ban Brittney Griner from representing the U.S. in sports. Owens argued that she would prefer athletes who demonstrate unwavering patriotism and love for America over those who simply bring home medals.
Owens expressed her belief that the essence of representing the country should be rooted in honoring its values and ideals. She stated, “I would rather have a player who represents America and loves America than a medal. It is not about winning or losing; it is about embodying and upholding the honor of the country.”
Her comments have sparked debate, with some supporting her call for a focus on patriotism, while others criticize her stance as overlooking the achievements and contributions of athletes like Griner. The discussion highlights ongoing tensions about national pride and the role of athletes in representing their countries on the global stage.
