These people will be the first to fall once the government they desire comes to fruition.

From I remember, they’re rooting against the ones who are being disrespectful to America. I don’t recall seeing them say they don’t like being American.

They root against those who “don’t like being American”, like Rapinoe.

The left wont watch them because they dont like themselves. The right wont watch them because they are goofy. Are there any normal, non crazy people left in the US?

Seems like it's the cool thing to say nowadays. It just shows how comfortable and spoiled we are. And in order to artificially suppress that, people put up signs of guilt and resentment.

I’ve seen several people here rooting against US Olympic athletes.


There's a huge difference in saying, "I'm not rooting for Team USA because I don't like being an American." And, "I'm not rooting for the US Women's Soccer Team because I don't agree with them kneeling during the US National Anthem."

Don't worry will take gold in anthem kneeling. I hope the USA gets blasted and ends up last in the medal count. If they don't have pride in their country, I have no pride in them.


I'm sure I could find more if I wanted to

Unfortunately, these people will get what they're asking for in their lifetime.

And they'll never understand they were the reason why.

To be fair, the linked article only quotes one person that said he/she didn't like being an American.

To also be fair, you said people here have said that and have yet to provide evidence.
