Fans’ Reactions
“I love how people are shitting on this as if it’s not insane that he’s going to his 4th Olympic games over a span of 20 years. Explain why he doesn’t actually deserve it.”
“It’s just them holding a flag? Yall are angry for god knows why and it’s sad. Who gives a f**k, he’s the oldest there and if they want someone to represent America, I’m picking the most famous person in the list. I know it’s a sporting event, but it’s a marketing event too. Aces in places.”
Fans’ Viewpoints
“So many people butt hurt by this is funny. His fellow Olympians voted for him to be it.”
“Bronny’s dad really making a name for himself.”
Fans’ Divided Opinions
“Can’t think of any other male athlete more deserving. Simone Biles would be the female.”
“I’m all for LeBron being the flagbearer. He’s a beast of an athlete, one of the greatest to play in the NBA, near 40 (!) and one of the most famous sports figures in America. My only wish is he and all the other Olympians keep their phones in their pockets during the opening ceremony. So lame.”
“I’m calling it. 20 years from now, Bronny is selected as flag bearer.”
