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

    Mock America. It shows solidarity with Americans.

    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.

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

    Nope. They’re representing a fascist country and helping us sportswash our image.

    The only way an American Olympian will have my respect is if they show up and forfeit their respective events.

    This is one of the most intensely "America is the only place in the world that matters" statements I have ever read.

    Are you even aware that your senile fascist pedophile president has threatened to invade, annex, or economically attack just about every single one of your neighbours and allies?

    ICE could be dismantled today, completely and utterly erased, deleted with extreme prejudice, and it would not address a single one of the reasons why the rest of the world hates you.

    I get that for you the fascist paramilitary is the most pressing issue, and indeed it may well come to a point where taking on ICE - literally - is a necessary precursor to solving those other problems. You have every right to focus on that problem first and foremost.

    But it's incredibly telling that you think the rest of the world should judge your athletes solely on how they feel about ICE, and not, say, their opinion on your country committing numerous war crimes, or aiding and abetting a genocide, or withdrawing life saving aid programs, or pulling out of climate treaties, or using your economic power to block green shipping laws and corporate minimum tax agreements, or starting a senseless trade war with the entire planet, or trying to annex neighbouring territories, or violating your neighbours sovereignty, or any of the other things that I'm forgetting here because it's become impossible to even keep track of all the disgusting shit that America has done recently.

    Boo freely, teach us some new curses in your languages, and I hope our athletes use their moments in the sun to protest as well. I do appreciate y'all letting them compete, since they don't have any more say about ICE or Trump than anyone else here, and have trained as hard as anyone else there. Feel free to boycott any Games held in our country as well, nothing pisses off His Fatjesty like being blamed for losing money, even though he hates Los Angeles and wants us to fail.
