Well it only took two days for someone in the media to take a different perspective on former Syracuse Orange star Carmelo Anthony and his performance in the Rio Olympics. Yesterday’s New York Daily News takes Melo to task for his words and inaction in Rio.
The article points to the actions of Ethiopian marathoner Feyisa Lilesa as he crossed the finish line in 2nd place in Rio on Sunday. Lilesa’s crossed arms signified support for members of his Oromo tribe who have been protesting decisions made by the Ethiopian government.
