Olympians

One of our American Olympians announced that she would not go to the White House if invited. She said she doesn’t represent President Trump but the American people. Can we assume then she only represents the people who did not vote for Trump. It reminds me of the people who opposed the Viet Nam war saying they were against the war but not against the soldiers but when the soldiers came home they were treated with disdain by many people. When Tom Brady refused an invite to the Obama White House was he dissing the people who voted for Obama? There are so many positive ways to address the inequalities in our country and these athletes who have a large stage should look into some of these.
