Gwen Berry came third in the Olympic hammer throw trials but FIRST for courting controversy - all for turning 90 degrees to her right while the US national anthem was being played when she was on the podium.
The move has caused uproar among conservatives, who say it was unpatriotic and want Berry off Team USA. So is there room for protest in sport, or is it just a way of generating headlines. And IS the third verse of the national anthem racist?!
RT’s investigative journalist Ben Swann speaks to a BLM campaigner, a Republican offended by Gwen Berry’s actions, and an academic who knows all about race and sport.
