Whether you were being sarcastic or not, there were a couple million people who were serious in their political outrage over the super bowl halftime show that were just as dumb as the people writing those articles in the OP about the US hockey team.

Clay Travis has literally made a career out of creating political rage bait around sports.

Ever notice how liberals, Democrats and moderate posters on here love to protest, "How dare you question our patriotism!"? Yet, whenever there's an opportunity to waive the flag, praise American goodness and excellence, or celebrate American achievement they act embarrassed, scoff, or use that moment to bring up America's blemishes? Every. Single. Time.


it’s even funnier with the Winter Olympics since it’s

1) mostly white people excelling (bad for the left)

2) but it’s mostly rich/weatlhy NorthEast and Pacific Northwest (traditionally left or supportive of left causes)

take for example, Minnesota…shitting on US Hockey doesn’t really align at all

Its all so transparent and idiotic. I dont know why folks go around sharing it. The reason those dumbasses write articles like that USA today FTW article is attention. They know exactly what they are doing and how disingenuous what they are spouting is.

Buncha women upset that their gold medal hockey win is being overshadowed by the men.

Is it too much to ask to go back to when every single facet of life wasn't infected by political pie throwing? It's exhausting.

How do you represent a country that presently doesn’t represent you?


First of all, this is one dishonestly worded sentence - but after consideration I think it may actually be the authors lack of reading skills.

Individuals at the olympics are 'representatives' of their specific nations. Their nations dont - and never were expected to - represent them (the olympians) as individuals.


Its dumb online speak

That asshat Clinton Yates at ESPN thinks it’s great that the US women’s hockey team declined to go to the white house. What he did not mention was that they did not do that because of politics, they did that because they already had previously scheduled work engagements or events that they could not all get out of. The dude is such an arse hat and a bitch.

Did any of the people who don’t like the Super Bowl halftime show write articles about how “problematic” it is to wave the flag or support the country?

Democrats are ever only (somewhat) proud to be American when a democrat is in the White House. Otherwise, they are miserable and want to spread their misery to others.

Been that way my entire life.

Also, logistically, it was an impossibility as the men’s team flew charter and arrived in Miami yesterday and the women’s team flew commercial and arrived in Atlanta this morning. That’s on the USOC. You wanna know where I found all this information?

From the ESPN app on my phone

Going to the White House feels like something. Having to sit through the state of the union though feels more like punishment.

We go to a Ravens game every year and Jimmy's is always part of planning things out. What a shining light in a city full of white hate.

I'm very interested in seeing how the chamber reacts when he introduces them. The left side of the chamber will erupt in cheers. Will the females on the right do the same or will they just sit there in their white "look at me" outfits holding their various props. I'm a moderate and would love to see the chamber rise in a sign of unity thanks to those young men.

The poster you are replying to spent hours defending a Muslim that was caught on video taunting a 12yo girl before he raped her by trying to claim this was OK because he believed Trump was caught in the Epstein file release.

You aren't going to get an honest reply from a literal demon with that mindset.
