Interview excerpt: 
“I think it’s a real special type of vermin that would go forward as a member of the United States Olympic Team and insult their fellow Americans and disgrace the flag. I think it’s despicable, and there are so many wonderful Americans on this team that are doing the right thing, that love our nation. I think they do a disservice and a disgrace to themselves when they step on the flag. I think they’re dishonoring their fellow team members, they’re distracting from our goal, which is to win gold medals.”
