An ESPN sportswriter has declared on live TV that seeing the American flag being waved at the Tokyo Olympics symbolizes the "rise of white supremacy."
Speaking during an appearance on CBS on Monday, Bill Rhoden said people waving Old Glory at the Games in Japan reminds him of the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
He said seeing the flag being waved in such a way causes him to ask himself "what America am I living in?"
"My favorite part of the Olympics was always going to the stadium for the opening ceremonies," Rhoden said.
"I love the opening ceremonies, the march of countries.
"Then I just realized, you know, man, particularly after these last four years, I had it wrong."
"And also, this whole idea — I keep thinking back on the Capitol riots, and I saw a lot of, you know, US flags.
"So now when I see the flag and the flag raised, what — what America am I living in?"
Rhoden spoke of the American basketball team losing 83-76 to France on Sunday, halting its chance at winning the gold medal, and called it a humbling experience for the team.
