Heroic Statements
"Cleveland-born boxer and 2012 USA Olympian Terrell Gausha says that
because of George Zimmerman’s not guilty verdict, he will no longer represent
the United State’s flag, according to TMZ.
In an interview with TMZ, Terrell quotes the popular statement that has been
lately surfacing the internet: “How can I wear my stars and stripes proudly in a
country where they make a big deal out of Mike Vick fighting dogs; but not a
young innocent Black male’s life.”
Twenty-five-year-old Gausha added that the Zimmerman verdict has forever
changed the way he sees this country. “When I represented my country in the
Olympics, I was proud to wear my flag. I even wore it on my head on the way
to the ring. What happened this weekend was a slap in the face.” Gausha is not
eligible for the 2016 Olympic team because of his pro sport status, but he made
it very clear that he wasn’t interested in representing a “nation with so much
racism and hatred.”
