Good. I hope he is made unwelcome everywhere he goes for the rest of his life.

This is what I like to hear.
Heartwarming
"Stern warning".
Booo! Oh wait, you're serious, let me boo even harder.
BOOOOOOOOO!
Guess they kept people from bringing rotten fruit and vegetables in to throw at him.
Did he even say "thank you"?
Who the fuck thinks a stern warning will prevent fans and visitors from booing evil scumbags. The IOC are out of touch, out of date and out of ideas
If greet we must, then this is how we must greet Nazis and Zionists.
It doesn't make up for genocide and attacking immigrants, but at least the war criminals' loss of narrative is out in the open.
Didn’t boo the athletes, just Vance.
The Israel athletes got booed hard. It felt good too hear
I missed that because I was baking when they came out
Why is israel allowed to play but not russia again?
Russia was caught doping. It has nothing to do with politics.
Sure, buddy
Yes, pal.
I'm surprised they are even in it, given that they aren't exactly known for their "wintry" climate. I guess it's like the Jamaican bobsledding team.
It should've been louder
Its quite cold out right now, but those boos just warmed me right up. I'm surprised he didnt try to have Usha stay home so he could take Erikkka though. Maybe listen to some Coldplay.
"Are they saying 'Boo' or 'Booance?'"
"Stern warning" hahaha
The the international Olympics committee is an absolute joke. They claim they don't want to be political and that's why Israel is allowed to compete and expect not to get backlash.
They have to be taking bribes, that's the only reason they would be making these otherwise insane decisions.
Trump's reaction. The "Oooo" face is funny. Trump fucking hates Vance. You can tell.
It's not like we can actually do anything about them. Booing at least makes us feel good for a brief moment.
People are allowed to vent, and it is healthy to do so.
If you've ever been booed, I'm not sure this take would feel great.
I support making Vance feel unwelcome (and that was indeed the target, not team USA). I'm less enthused about the athletes being targeted. The optics of 'we shame all associated to things we dislike' is aspect conservative voters claim to fear/dislike from progressives.
I'll have more sympathy if they publicly make statements condemning the genocide that their country is committing. Until then, sucks to suck. They are not the victims here.
The optics of ‘we shame all associated to things we dislike’
"Dislike" is way underselling this. I "dislike" pineapple on pizza. This is something rather different.
Just Dumb's oligarch convoy required 14 airplanes and 100 vehicles. WTF, how much did that shit cost?
Going to watch the opening ceremony when I get home. I'm glad that it sounds like the boos were directed at JD Vance instead of the athletes. Fuck that guy. I don't know what he expected to happen. That would suck to be training to be a top-tier athlete and your country does something shitty and you get boo'd for it.
I’m watching it on delay right now, and they just came in. The athletes got a great cheer, but that quickly switched to boos when they showed him. It was perfectly done.
I watched some but not the entire thing. Did other countries leaders get shown while their athletes walked out our just Vance during the USA? None of what I watched showed other leaders. Maybe they weren't there? I don't know
It depends on their recognition status I guess. They showed princess Anne I think when Great Britain entered. And a few others.
Every israeli athletes should be investigated to see if they served in the battlefield killing innocent palestinians
wait only the two?
I mean, I think Russia has been banned for a while now.
I actually had not realized that. fine to me if the ban hammer swings this way to but maybe let the athletes compete for other countries.
They usually let them compete under the Olympic flag I believe
They weren't banned for the Ukraine thing, but for doping. There are Russian athletes that compete under ROC in Olympics now.
Edit-well, looks like I was wrong. The ban was rescinded in '22, than there were banned again for the Ukraine invasion. And now some athletes compete under AIN, Athletes from Individual Neutral Athletes
WOW, that is surprising, been going for so long & so much public attention.
Don't they get caught cheating regularly?
I watched a video. I couldn't hear them. I Just had to take the anouncer's word.
So? They are still allowed to participate.
And none of the EU or other vassal states will do anything against them, despite what the population wants or thinks.
AWESOME, but the attendees should not have attended. Would have made a bigger statement, tons, if not all, of seats empty.

That website is cancer without an ad block on mobile. Get a better mobile browser mate.
I have ublock origin? Is the filter in the annoyance lists? Maybe I didn't enable them.
I just installed Brave back in the day when it was one of the only mobile browsers with built in adblock. Still works fine and never have to fuck with lists. So I've just left it as default for external links. I don't do much article reading on mobile unless Lemmy links me somewhere so have never bothered to change. I'm sure there are better options though.
Brave tracks you, and then there's the whole crypto thing.
Yeah. I don't do anything on my phone that I don't assume is tracked. It's a good rule to live by. False sense of privacy in things like Signal or otherwise are just that. If you can visually see the text or images on your phone assume it's going to Palantir. If you have a burner phone. It's associated with you if you so much as bring it near your personal phone.
Being paranoid and assuming everything digital is watched is the only real security you can have.
uBlock Origin's element picker allows you to remove that swipe for next article thing permanently. Just tested it and could properly read the article without that trash blocking my screen.
