Flint-made Olympic gold medalist, Claressa Shields, will never give up

NPR explained that "It's one thing for a girl to fight —but to admit that you like that it, makes a lot of people uncomfortable," and Shields is not afraid to admit that fighting is what she likes best.

Coming from one of the most dangerous cities in America, having a mother struggling with addiction, and an older brother in prison, Shields is candid and unapologetic about her personal struggles — and how they motivate her to strive for more.

According to the NPR report, after winning a Gold Medal in the 2012 Olympics, Shields continued to live a life different than most Olympic athletes. She used the $1,000 a month, an Olympic Title granted her with, to pay for her mother's water bills and to help support her older brother. http://www.metrotimes.com/Blogs/archives/2016/07/28/flint-made-olympic-gold-medalist-claressa-shields-will-never-give-up

In another National Public Radio Report, on 8/22/16, at around 5:45 PM MTZ, KUNM of Albuquerque, New Mexico, reported that "Shields was abused as a child."

Here is a quote from a woman, who "WILL NEVER GIVE UP!' "I wasn't the ideal woman. I wasn't the pretty girl who wears her hair straight. I don't know. I guess I wasn't what they were looking for."


After winning Gold in the recent Olympic, Women's Boxing Event, Shields grabbed a U.S. Flag from her father and ran around the boxing rink. According to NPR, the socks worn by Shields, barely concealed a "Superman" logo; but Superman and Superwoman logos are identical, in D.C. Comics

1. There is a big 'Welcome home, Claressa' gathering planned for tomorrow, in Flint

Claressa is arriving at Flint Bishop Airport, at about 5:15 and, just like 4 years ago, a big crowd is expected to greet her. Then there is another big celebration schedule for Thursday.

Flint is bursting with pride, that's for sure.

2. Hoe odd. Just like yesterday; 5 fast recommendations and no comments?

Are readers afraid to comment for some reason?

3. A real inspiration.

I hope lots of kids are paying attention. People like this are the ones that change the world for the better.

4. Seemingly unimportant little comments also "change the world"...

And your reply publicized important, inspirational events, which influence young people. It was particularly difficult to find the athlete, running with the US flag waving, as NPR reported.

5. Neither Cher nor Barrack Obama were "what they were looking for" either...

EVEN WITHOUT REPLIES, I WILL WAVE MY OWN FLAG! All flags should be outlawed, because of the ways they are usually used to kill people. Readers at D.U. made fun of me when I said that I was an "ARMY OF ONE!" Later, some US government group used the same slogan; believe it or not.

Is Barrack Obama truly black? Here is a picture of his mother:


Each of us lives a life of contradictory truths. We are not one thing or another. Barack Obama's mother was at least a dozen things. S. Ann Soetoro was a teen mother who later got a Ph.D. in anthropology; a white woman from the Midwest who was more comfortable in Indonesia; a natural-born mother obsessed with her work; a romantic pragmatist, if such a thing is possible.

"When I think about my mother," Obama told me recently, "I think that there was a certain combination of being very grounded in who she was, what she believed in. http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1729685,00.html

I believe that President Obama suffered more discrimination, than many other people of color. How can a teen mother and a black athlete rise above social rejection and become greater than "they" expected? Who was expecting this left hook?

6. "and, uh" kick...

7. oops this OP has fallen without comments again. FLAG TIME RACIST TROLLS! LOL

[Jeffersons Ghost]

8. It's FLAG TIME AGAIN! LOL

[Jeffersons Ghost]

9. If the last comment - other than mine - on inspiring children is wrong, let the OP die!

"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything!" Good night.

10. It's morning! Could you all rise for the Star Spangled Banner by a black musician?
