Griner’s stance, which mirrors similar protests by other athletes, including Colin Kaepernick, has polarized public opinion. Supporters argue that kneeling is a peaceful and powerful way to bring attention to critical social issues. They see Griner as a courageous advocate for equality and justice, using her platform to voice concerns about systemic racism and discrimination. This support is rooted in the belief that athletes have a responsibility to use their visibility to effect positive change, even if it means challenging societal norms.

Biles emphasized that representing the United States comes with the responsibility to uphold and respect the nation’s symbols and traditions. She suggested that Griner’s actions might be divisive and could potentially harm the unity and morale of the Olympic team. The gymnast’s comments reflect a broader debate about the role of athletes in social and political activism, and whether personal beliefs should impact one’s eligibility to represent their country.
