What happened to freedom of expression?? I’m sorry, but I hope the crowds let their feelings be known, good, bad or indifferent.

    American here.

    Jeer, mock, boo. Castigate. We shouldn’t have even been allowed this year.

    American here. Please boo us at the Olympics. We deserve it. Actually take it a step further. Don’t let us participate in the games at all. Also while we’re at it boot us from the WC and give hosting exclusively to Canada and Mexico.

    As an American: No no - you should jeer the fuck out of us. We 100% deserve it. Large parts of our population evidently don’t understand or care about soft power (amongst many other important things), so we’ve nuked most of ours. Show my countrymen what the ramifications of that choice are.

    I disagree. Our country wants to act like lawless Nazis and send the Gestapo to your country. Boo the shit out of us! And stop voting for fascists because your countries are going to become what we are if you do

    I’m a Philadelphia Eagles fan; booing works. Please boo us, we deserve to stew in shame. Only frail pussies like our sorry excuse for a president can’t handle it. He’s sending the couch fucker because he’s too chickenshit.

    If the Russians shouldn’t be participating the Americans shouldn’t either. Sucks for the athletes who trained so hard though.

      They do, but perhaps less overtly than our orange monster.

      Georgia Meloni.

      Meloni’s tenure has been described as the “most right-wing” government in Italy since World War II,[19][20][21] whilst her time in government is variously described as a shift towards the far-right in Italian politics.

    The Olympics is a traveling embezzlement and drug/human trafficking convention. These fuckers don’t have the moral integrity to lecture anyone.
