Kick her off the team. A primary reason for being an Olympian is to represent your country in the Olympics. If she can't do that proudly, there are plenty of others who would love to.

Based on her Twitter history, you can tell exactly what type of person she is. Aggressive, argumentative, etc.

Yeah, but she's only proud because she lives in the luxury of white privilege.
I've watched almost all of the track and field Olympic trials over the last ten days or so, and without exception all of the African-American athletes who landed a spot on the team were almost speechless with happiness and pride at being able to represent their country on the international stage. On the other hand, maybe I was fooled. Maybe they only looked black and were actually identifying as transwhites.

Who gave the white man his privilege? |

What?
A week after Carl Nassib became the first active NFL player to come out as gay, the NFL released a video on Monday declaring “Football is gay.” In the 30-second clip, the phrases flashing across the screen also included “football is lesbian,” “football is bisexual,” “football is queer,” “football is transgender,” as well as “football is accepting” and “football is for everyone.”

I’m glad the NFL chose to clarify that they are for LGBTQ+ rights, I really wasn’t sure.
Would love to hear the thoughts of their players too…

I would assume that any business would be for more customers rather than fewer customers, and what would you have the players say?
