Daniel Romanchuk became the first American since 1993 to win the wheelchair race at the Boston Marathon today. Obviously this is going to evoke feelings of patriotism and nationalism, since Americans hardly ever seem to win anything at this American based event. But evidently whoever hands out the award for the BAA thought the American flag was hate speech, or just taking the spotlight off of her, because this video makes me want to puke:
This wasn’t an accident, or a simple misunderstanding. This old bag with blonde hair is speaking to him while someone else holds the flag behind him:
Then the anthem starts and he puts his hand over his heart.
And for some reason she decides that this is a bad look, so she takes the flag from the woman holding it and throws it on the ground, presumably because the woman holding the flag had to put the medal on him.
Which is patently absurd, because Granny McTreason easily could’ve put the medal on herself. She also could’ve held onto the flag, instead of crumpling it and throwing it to the ground like it was trash.
I’m not really a flag Nazi, but that’s just intentionally disrespectful, and a terrible look. ON PATRIOTS DAY!! As the first American to win the race in 26 years was honored. Disgusting.
The BAA has apologized for this:
Boston Athletic Association apologizes for placing American flag on ground at Boston Marathon ceremony https://t.co/UsUOOs44Ao via @usatoday
— john currier (@rabbiepower) April 15, 2019
“The Boston Athletic Association apologizes sincerely for the nature in which our Men’s Wheelchair Award Ceremony was held,” Fleming said in a statement. “We are reviewing our Awards protocol to ensure that this does not happen again. The Boston Marathon has been an American tradition for more than a century and we take pride in the passion and determination that participants, spectators, and volunteers from around the world display at our annual event.
Which to me rings hollow, because the woman who actually did it should be the one apologizing. Not to publicly destroy her, but so that she can come forward and apologize and explain why she did what she did.
Instead you have the organization basically protecting her, and saying “we are reviewing or protocol to ensure this does not happen again.”
Da fuq? If you need to explain to people not to throw the American flag on the ground during the National Anthem then they probably shouldn’t be the ones handing out the awards. I’ve never seen them do that to a Kenyan or Ethiopian flag before. But I guess nationalism is only a bad thing when the nation you’re proud of is the United States of America.

The hag is old enough to have been in grade school when they taught kids American flag etiquette.
Turtleboy got a bunch of pussies here crying about cheap Jew cloth. The 1st amendment allows you to burn the fucking thing,it touched the ground,the gay state can’t be this full of flamers.
Pick your fights.
Yeah, it shouldn’t of happened.
But sometimes the little shot does happen.
Oops, she put the flag down. She didn’t throw it in the garbage like a box of unwanted puppies.
Bad choice. It’ll never happen again.
Move on and report about the real world, fund raising ratchets from Fall River with multiple crotch rockets and multiple jailed baby daddies.
You’re better than this.
And my ancestors fought at Concord and Lexington.
which side did they fight on?
Fuck you, you fucking splooge socket.
I wonder if the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who gave their lives for what that flag represents would’ve thought throwing it on the ground is “little shot”.
Fucking tool.
Exactly what about the men who held the flag from hitting the ground while they were sprayed with bullets. It may have been a “accident.” But from the looks of the way she tossed it to the side it didn’t seem like it mattered much to her either way.
The “I am really good at exercising” “sport “. I believe I had better times walking 26 miles at Disneyworld than a lot of these showboats. That lady should retire. Yeah and the pos Handincock company doesn’t want their shit blocked by a flag.
What a sick twisted bitch!
On Sunday I did the Tough Ruck where most of the competitors were doing it for family or friends who were killed in action. I personally did it for four of my friends who gave all for their country. I feel sorry for this worthless woman.
I’m pulling this bitch from her Subaru Forester next time I see her driving in Brookline, and punching her in her tits.
Marathon Monday is a huge SJW Holiday, it’s basically their Christmas.
Fuck this crusty douche, do what you do best Turtle and find out who she is.
If you want to see something very inspirational, look up the pictures of Jose Luis Sanchez, running in 2017. While in the Marine Corps, one leg was blown off in Afghanistan combat. When he later ran the Boston Marathon, he carried the American Flag, on a flagpole, the 26.2 mile distance.
The sad irony is that she did this TO THE PLAYING OF “THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER!” As we wish we could have said in Baltimore Harbor, “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?”
Police chief loses his job at university for liking several Tweets
Woman throws American Flag on ground behind man winning race and it’s no big deal
What the fuck has happened here?
If you’re a normal person who works for a living and is proud of this country you need to get out and vote for the candidates that support America. Donald Trump is that man

Fuck that fraud below. It’s probably Randall.
Hey Randy, this one’s for you:
Bull shit “limp wrist lefty” Fine, GM of WCVB, buried the story not referencing Glinda Rachethead in the story. It showed the flag in the corner and Boston’s Best Evening newscast collectively said “How’d that get there?”
Old fucking disrespectful cunt. I wish somebody would literally punch her in her smug, pretentious, privileged fucking face and knock her the fuck out and leave her for dead.
Donald Trump is a loser!!!
That’s why he’s friends with other losers like Tom Brady and Tiger Woods.
!!!!!! RIP the great Nipsey Hussle !!!!!!
Dude, no matter how much you fuss about it : kneegrows don’t matter.
Fuck off, you fraud
Nipsey Hustle was a fucking worthless , violent shitstain like you and your father (whoever that is, you don’t know) grab your shinebox and report to North station before I kick your worthless ass
Let us know how you feel after they release The Mueller Report on Thursday.
Good Vid, good find Y.
My God Comey is a pussy, bet he has painted toenails and a pink butt plug in his ass all day. Comey is a man who really does identify as a woman.
Today. Let’s talk about aging. The Bible says. Wait you know what. Awww fuck it. This aging cunt tossed my flag on the ground. May she be burned in hell and have her cunt rot from a combination of Lou Gehrig’s and gang green. Say ten Hail Marys and smoke cigarettes at the gas pumps. May feeling the bern be with you, and also with you.
When I was a kid in the 70’s my Mother would bring me to watch the marathon in Wellesley center near the college. Back then every runner was running for pride. I recall large groups of firemen, college students, first timers and of course the Hoyt’s…cheering and clapping for hours…now it’s run by fucking Cunts like this and locals can’t even run in it. What a fucking joke. Fuck you BAA
Dint forget all the charity running suburban soccer moms who pay $10,000 to finish in 7+ hours, just so they can make a 5 page long facebook post about how awesome they are. The race is a fucking joke now
You know JoAnne she ran the BOSTON MARATHON 2 years ago! I’m an avid RUNNER myself, running has empowered me in the most beautiful way. I totally get what JoAnne did for herself by finishing the MARATHON. JoAnne and I have run 3 10k’s so far just this year.
I can’t decide if I will do the walk-a-thon this year with Dana and Rachel from my Cross Fit class or a double 10k weekend to prep for the Falmouth race. My husband Greg and 2 other couples have already pledged the full PAN MASS CHALLENGE! We all have fulfilled our donation commitments with the Spring into Spring cheese and wine event we hosted last weekend. You know Greg is such a He-Man, he refused to take any donations and paid it all himself! OMG Greggy is sooo crazy that’s why we make such a great couple. :0
Anyways enough about me, so will you be coming to the BOSTON MARATHON next year to support JoAnne and I? Tee heee heee… I’m so bad but I know this girl will be a numbered runner in the 3rd heat by then… tee heee heee.
You know I heard Michelle Obama is going to be there, she is quietly training to run marathon just like Oprah did. I don’t know who inspires me more Michelle, Oprah or the girls from the View.
I think Falmouth is….. blah blah blah blah blah blah
As others already said, anyone of her apparent age almost certainly would have learned in school, that the flag NEVER should touch the ground. I cannot imagine ANYONE consciously doing that. She needs to apologize and explain her action. BAA needs to make that happen IMMEDIATELY.
If it were Ray Bourque TB would have given him a pass
I don’t particularly give a damn about the flag or this country so it isn’t offensive to me so much as dismissive but this is an event that an American won for the first time in nearly 30 years. It very likely means something pretty awesome to that dude.
She’s a cunt.
I knew she was fucked in the head but not that fucked. This morning I dropped spare change in her cup and she drank it.
I sincerely hope the government orders her to be shot in the head.
It’s a goddamned piece of patterned cloth – get over it. Let’s see similar outrage at the Barstool Bros and their skanks wearing star-spangled bathing suits all summer, you crybaby hypocrites.
Like one of the commenters said, I don’t know anyone that does not know that the flag is not supposed to touch the ground so at the very least she should’ve held the flag in her arms if it was getting in the guys way somehow but I don’t even see that. Very shabby indeed.
“All Star Criminals”? Really? She threw the flag on the ground. Stupid, but hardly rising to anything amounting to “criminal.”
Get a grip, people!
Your head may be jar shaped, but clearly, given this response, you are not an actual Jarhead. Now kindly go fuck yourself.
Go back to bitching about Medford you clown. What kind of jarhead are you not respecting the flag. Go fuck yourself and eat a box
Fuck that nasty old bitch!!!
We know who she voted for…..
She even has the ‘Bernie’ hair!
I would have asked that guy on the wheelchair to stand up and hold it himself
Joe, glad to see you’re still kickin’
That fucking dried up old twat!!! Someone needs to find out this cunt’s info and put it on blast. She knew what the fuck she did and I guarantee she is still smiling about it. Time to make the rest of that mummy’s life a living hell! You don’t fuck with the flag, bitch!!!
I never met anyone who doesn’t know that the American flag should never touch the ground.
She is just stupid period. Can’t expect much from the woman, she looks like she brushed her hair with a firecracker!
Brushed her hair with a firecracker.Now that’s funny.
It wouldn’t be the 1st time someone from the left misused their hygiene products:
BAA’s spokesperson in their first apology, says the flag was ‘spotted’ on the ground.
They later amended that to say it was ‘placed’ on the ground.
I call BS. It was crumbled up by Grannie and clearly THROWN on the ground.
Back in her youth, everyone was taught the rules of respect for the flag – probably first in first grade, when they learned the Pledge of Allegiance. We were taught civic pride.
If it were a Millenial who did it, I’d still be disgusted. But she may have never been taught about respect for our flag.
Disgraceful.
I can just imagine all the eye rolling going on in corporate PR .
I’m sure they’re all exasperated with the great unwashed complaining about the horrible disrespect of the flag. This old hag will say some bullshit about her brother fighting at Gettysburg or something and the MSM will scold anyone who dares question her patriotism.
Who is this old bitch? She deserves a good swift kick in the ass for that little faux pas. Probably still pissed off about Hillary not winning, the Mueller report, and the 1960’s having passed her old hag ass by.
To every American, to every brave soldier, to anyone who respects our flag… to the man who won this part of the race with incredible odds against him… this is very sad.
Maybe they did it to protect him. Wearing an American flag in Boston is like wearing a fur coat to a PETA rally.
Ninja Turtle needs to find out who this bitch is…
Let the Turtle out her.
She’s a moron
Too bad the wheelchair winner didn’t yell at her when she did that. He probably didn’t see it
As stated, if you have to explain to some blond shithead that you don’t toss the flag like a Kleenex you’ve got some serious issues. And when I say “the flag”, I mean “the flag” of the country of any winner of the race.
Fuck the Boston Marathon if she doesn’t publicly apologize. If she doesn’t then don’t give the Boston Athletic Association the permits, but give it to a different organization.
What’s the over/under she’s an Ivy League grad or Mt Holyoke or Smith? That shit isn’t just from the last few years. Grads from those places have at least 50 years of being this kind of shit head.
I’m sure her Facefuck page is full of pussyhats and #Resistance. Congratulations to the winner. This is the only iteration of the race I care much about.
It won’t be enough to get her the Rolling Stone cover but I’m sure she’ll get a few free drinks out of it.
“since Americans hardly ever seem to win anything at this American based event”
