Americans came in and there was only lukewarm applause… I’m waiting for the Soviets to come in. They’ll get a big ass reception no doubt.

Now these two anti-American sons of bitches are up to this;

Kinda funny...or not...but Russia, the Russian flag, and the Russian national anthem are all BANNED from the Olympics. The IOC ruled this as a punishment for the Russian teams after the massive systemic doping that they participated in.

The Russian athletes participate under the flag of ‘ROC’, and if they win anything, that’s the flag that’ll be raised, and the Olympic Hymn would be played. I do not know how long the ban is for.
