Some people in the conservative movement against the U.S. Olympic team have become a fashion, because many athletes engage in arousalism. When these teams lost to other countries, some celebrities on the right publicly celebrated.
Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield (Grant Stinchfield) said at the end of July that he opposed the American women’s and men’s basketball because he did not approve of their political views.In the section titled “The Woke Olympics”, the host discusses recent losses Men’s basketball and Women’s Football team. He says:
“I find myself not only opposed to Megan Rapinoe and her group of female football players who hate the United States, but I am also happy that the American men’s basketball team has lost its first team since 2004.”
He continued:
“These social justice fighters who complain about overpayment are difficult to take root. The team is full of people kneeling the national anthem. I think the irony is that they are willing to put the United States on their chests, but in the near past, they will be the national anthem. kneel.”
Newsmax host: “The U.S. team lost at the Olympics. I don’t often feel happy… I find myself not only opposed to Megan Rapino and her group of female football players who hate the United States… But I Happy for the men’s basketball team, the US team lost for the first time since 2004.” pic.twitter.com/2UqKs9hwOz

Members of both teams knelt while playing the national anthem to protest the brutality of the American police, a practice widely circulated among former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.Unfortunately for Stinchfield, the men’s basketball team eventually lost the draft. Win Their fourth consecutive gold medal.
However, the host of Newsmax was not the only one celebrating the loss of the United States. Former President Donald Trump recently at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, claim “The Americans are very happy” women’s football was defeated by Canada.
No matter what the right wingers say, I cannot board the train to “eradicate America.” My obsession with awakening on the left is as contemptuous as the next. I spent a lot of writing time undermining the destructive ideology that the extreme left tried to impose on the rest of the country.
Nevertheless, I cannot allow myself to stand on the side of another country against myself-no matter if those who represent the United States express stupid political views, whether we like wokie athletes or not, they still compete in the name of red and white, and blue color. I will not play for Canada, France, or other countries that want to beat us in the Olympics.
In addition, the hope that the United States loses is also an insult to those athletes who did not participate in the awakening nonsense. These people are there because they seek victory, and as Americans, we should want them to win.
I know what you are thinking: “But Jeff, these people hate America!”
This argument reflects the usual analogy that anyone who criticizes the United States — or the problems that are going on in that country — will naturally hate this country. This is a subconscious assumption that lacks evidence.
is it possible Some These people may hate this country? certainly. But like many others, I can admit that criticism of the United States, whether I agree with their criticism or not, is not a clear indicator of their hatred towards our country. There are some things in the United States that I don’t like very much, and I hope to see changes. But a little bit of critical thinking will tell us that it doesn’t make sense to assume that I hate the entire country.
In addition, it is also worth noting that most of this sentiment on the right is pure tribalism and can easily be applied to the left.if Megan Rapinoe Kevin Durant wore a MAGA hat while singing the national anthem, while tears shed on his proud face. Neither Trump nor Stinchfield would celebrate their failure.
But do you know who will? You guessed it-will be on the left. Every time they lose, CNN’s Don Lemon throws a party. Rachel Maddow of MSBNC will give a tearful monologue when they win.
These things are based on tribal politics, guys.
There is no need to oppose the United States because of politics. We can criticize the stupidity of the Waukee players, but also hope that they beat France. I mean—this is France. Come on, people!
Let us do better.
