She we also stop referring to people as men and women, because that is "sexist?"

They didn't wear the mask when they were playing but to have the moment of having medals once in your lifetime, why are they wearing masking?
No one has yet made the headline for refusing mask for celebration. Will that make any controversial or hate comments?

I'm looking forward to the day all of these 'first' things are done and we can get back to normal, judging people by their actions not their skin color

Woah dude, so you are saying we should have separate categories for people depending on their skin colour??

There's a whole lot story to her then just being the first black woman. I could careless about that part of the story. The better story is that she didn't qualify for the team, but her teammate on Team USA gave up her spot so she could compete, and she won the gold medal. A great story that if you give someone a chance, they can perform. A better story and headline then just her skin color.
