They’re getting gold medals in ungratefulness.
Woke Team USA members expressed “mixed emotions” about representing the Stars and Stripes at the Winter Olympics, sparking calls by some Americans to boycott the Games.
Freestyle skier Hunter Hess ignited the firestorm Friday after telling reporters that wearing the American flag doesn’t mean he backs everything “going on” in the US.
“It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now,” Hess said at a press conference ahead of competition.
“It’s a little hard, there’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren’t,” he added. “Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US.”
Fellow Team USA freestyle skier Chris Lillis also chimed in, griping about immigration enforcement and protests in the Land of the Free.
“I’m heartbroken about what’s happening in the United States,” Lillis said. “I think that as a country we need to focus on respecting everybody’s rights and making sure that we are treating our citizens as well as anybody with love and respect.”
“I hope that when people look at athletes compete in the Olympics they realize that that’s the America that we’re trying to represent,” he added.
Team USA figure skater Amber Glenn also weighed in earlier in the week, expressing concern about the Trump administration.“Politics affects us all,” Glenn told reporters. “It is something I will not just be quiet about.”

And the American team should terminate both of them from the roster.
They can ski for Nigeria.
That would be so sweet. Boot them out. I’d rather the USA not win or not compete than have these disgusting ingrates representing us.
“I’m heartbroken about what’s happening in the United States,” — What? Enforcing the law? What happened to “Nobody is above the law”?
I HATE whiny, petulant children.
FOREVER TERMINATE THEM FROM COMPETITION
Screw the Olympics if the athletes inject islamocommie politics into the mix.
They need to STFU or people will refuse to watch.
Hollywood has screwed themselves, so will the worthless whining olypians.
Does no one use "gratitude" and "ingratitude" anymore?
Hey I have an idea, lets send some illegal alien rapists to THEIR house and see how they like it. Perhaps they can talk to the families of the Amish Community in Indiana who lost FOUR young men earlier this week when an illegal alien who was IMPORTED here under Biden drove a semi truck using a CDL and killed them all..lets see if these jackasses shed any tears for THEM
They should all be sent home or to the country of their choice.
Break a leg...literally.
We could have a little more fun.
Tell them we’re going to replace them on the roster with immigrants...like from Austria or Switzerland.
Stand back, smile, wait for the wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Send them home.
They should not represent America overseas. How about a white flag.
We haven’t paid to support you heathens. We paid to support AMERICA in the Olympics, not you, so give us our money back, and get the F out of this country. There has to be other American athletes who are proud of this country, step aside.
One word: Meghan Rapinoe
No Wheaties box for you
And give up any medals they won to the less fortunate
Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home. Send Them Home.
I’ll be sure not to watch again this year.

Amazing how easily the US Pedophile Media manipulates the brains of mush with the smart phones.
“One word: Meghan Rapinoe”
That was my first thought. They must have not noticed that most of the nation was rooting for her to get her ass kicked. She did.
