Just fyi-
Here is a list of the Athletes at the 2026 Winter Olympics who expressed anti American sentiments-

1. Hunter Hess – U.S. freestyle skier
• Said he had “mixed emotions” about representing the United States due to the current political climate and did not feel he represented everything that’s going on in the U.S. right now.
• Some commentators — including former President Donald Trump — called these comments anti-patriotic or “anti-American.”
2. Chris Lillis – U.S. freestyle skier
• Spoke at a press conference saying he was “heartbroken” about some things happening in the United States and emphasizing respect and rights.
• These remarks were also framed by critics as unpatriotic commentary on U.S. policies rather than focused strictly on sport.
3. Amber Glenn – U.S. figure skater
• Made public comments about politics in the U.S., emphasizing that athletes have voices beyond sport. These remarks were interpreted by some observers as politically critical of the country.

I call for a boycott

These people are beyond delusional if they don't realize the US is the most welcoming and accepting country in the world.

I'm shocked it's just three. The media would have you believe half of the athletes were ashamed on America.

I don't hate them like I did Rapinoe, Morgan and the rest of that women's soccer shiit. Athletes, actors and musicians think they can make you think like them and don't realize their voice is so small. As the Swifties found out

Hey, look at me. I am relevant.

Credit for making it to the Olympics. I get that.
Otherwise, hopefully you will grow up one day, kid.

I have never heard of any of these people and they’ll never be relevant again.

This is one of those things that I can’t understand how people have bandwidth to care about it.

The hockey team belting Toby Keith post game while getting hammered after talking to DJT warmed my heart.
