They could be the most patriotic people ever - I still wouldn't care.
Olympics have never drawn any interest for me. Zero. Don't care. Stupid "event"

I used to really enjoy the boxing and wrestling events.
But not anymore. I’m woke to the wokeism.

Are you rooting against the USA ? Not rooting against the USA. Just not supporting people who hate my America.

Hard to get enthused about any sports nowadays due to the politics. Years past everyone respected the Flag and National Anthem.

Good post OP.
As a kid in the 80’s the Olympics were a big deal. It was sold as good Vs. evil the USA and our allies Vs. the USSR. I haven’t cared about the olympics in years and care even less today with the athletes supposedly representing this county that openly despise and disrespect it.

I haven't watched any of it but I read that at least 1 of the women gymnasts knelt.

Unfortunately, you don't have to look to another country to find the evil now.

Olympics have been political since at the least 1968!in Mexico City with the US sprinters Tommy smith and Carlos something or other. It’s just worse now.

They don't represent anything about the USA I know of. They are haters of all that is good and holy and therefore I could not care less if they loose or win.

I haven't watched any of it but I read that at least 1 of the women gymnasts knelt. When would they have knelt? No medals yet, so not anthems. the 1st article I read was in error. It was a woman from Costa Rica supporting BLM. There is a rule against that kind of protests so she worked into her floor routine. At the end of her routine, she finished by taking a kinee and doing a BLM fist salute. ![[Linked Image from the-sun.com]](https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2021/07/NINTCHDBPICT000668223485.jpg)
