If Right-Wingers Go To the Olympics, Are They Going To Root Against American Athletes?

[Solomon]

Think about it.

US soccer team is playing the Brazilian team. When Brazil scores, they cheer. When America scores they boo.

LOL

Fucking "patriots".

[virgogal]

1. Who are "they"---the ones doing the cheering? I'm confused.

[Canuckistanian]

2. If those athletes make Obama look good, then yes, they will root against Americans

It's all about Obama. America doesn't matter to them.

3. RWers probably don't go to the Olympics much. It's that diversity thing,

and all the BROWN PEOPLE. They can't handle it.

4. Conservatives don't give a fuck about America

They are selfish, hateful bastards and they are FAKE PATRIOTS who don't have a fucking clue what the Boston Tea Party was all about.

6. I actually encountered anti-abortion protesters protesting the olympics

They were protesting two things:

1. (and this is ridiculous) female athletes are allegedly deliberately getting pregnant and then having an abortion because pregnancy related hormones improve athletic performance.
2. Condoms were being provided at the athletes village.

8. Well

We had some people here in 2004 and 2008 rooting against American athletes. I was rather embarrassed by it.

I think you should root for your own country in the Olympics, while still respecting the achievements of athletes from other countries.

10. why root for any country?

who'd you root for if you were from another planet?
