Teams and athletes who don’t root for their country, the USA, shouldn’t expect support from anyone. That includes team members who are not activists, because their silence is activism.

This is the so-called National Team members disrespecting the National Anthem with the full approval of the governing body. Insane.

Bill Clinton’s favorite team. Being the thoughtful man he is, he donated kneepads to the entire team. The girls that are kneeling are just practicing.

How unfortunate.

I’ll bet they scored AFTER the game, though, on each other. So precious.

It isn’t team USA. That purple haired ungrateful nag made it the team “Wahhh. Look at me I am so Oppressed.” I hope they lose. Not that I am watching a single minute of the Olympics.

I’d also venture to guess they really don’t want to be there.
