lol. He talks like a leftist HR woman where most sentences sound like a question. I think they call it upspeak. What a pathetic tool.
Never heard of "upspeak" before so I googled and found this. Have noticed many women speak this way and now many men as well.

I used to look forward to the Olympics, back when it was just about competition and excellence.

Evangelical Christian Nationalist pastors use their pulpit for political messages all the time. What's the moral difference between that and athletes using theirs?
People just be complaining because they don't like their beliefs to be challenged.

And? So what? You are allowed to disagree. You job is to ski, not talk.
hate to burst your bubble but it takes way more courage to say you love the USA than bash it in today's political environment. Conservatives don't try to cancel leftists for their misplaced hatred of the USA.Watermelon Man said:KentK93 said:“It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now… Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S.”

The anti-ICE, liberal athletes are already insufferable at the Olympics…

Of course, it takes more courage and dedication to rise to the top of your field and defend your beliefs for the world to see than it does to hide behind a keyboard and throw insults.
Of course, people who confuse the ability to insult with intelligence have trouble with this.

These US Olympians represent the median voter right now. This concerned moderate supports their concerns.

What these clowns don't seem to understand that, even with the problems these morons perceive in our country, they are free to voice their opinions without fear. Do we see any Chinese athletes making similar statements? Not if they don't want to be disappeared.
These bozos are free to hold whatever crappy opinions they want, but they are there in representation of the United States. Shut up and perform.

It is somewhat fitting.
Of course, the American athletes are free to hold whatever crappy opinions they want. Why does it upset so many that they do? Are you threatened by others' freedoms?
It's as if you want to live in a country where such freedoms are suppressed.

If there's one thing that sets this board apart from the rest of the internet is how much the posters love the USA!
