A volleyball match Saturday between the U.S. and Puerto Rico in Rio de Janeiro included a ball out call against the Americans, prompting the Brazilian audience to cheer, according to The Daily Caller.

The unidentified NBC announcer was quick to point out that U.S. teams receive negative responses “everywhere” they play, other than at home.

“And you heard the cheers from the pro-Brazilian, pro-Puerto Rican crowd here,” the person said. “You don’t know, the United States gets cheered against everywhere in the world except the United States.”

Believe me, it's Trump's fault, unless it's Bush's fault!

Being a corrupt USA-MSA Pravda member, he was supposed to add its because of Donald Trumps divisive rhetoric.

I’m not wasting my time watching this Olympics. Too many commercials.

They just hate us because they have more poop in their water than we do.

I’m actually rooting against the Men’s Basketball team. I’d love to see Lithuanian beat them.

I just want to see dead bodies, used hypo needles, and of course poop during the water events.

Video don’t lie. Media do.

Good. The rest of the world needs us a lot more than we need them. Many of these foreign athletes went to college in the USA.

It’s called “rooting for the underdog”. But NBC folks wouldn’t understand that.

But one thing I couldn’t help but to notice was the loud cheers the Cuban team got.

Well, you have to consider that he/she is an America-hating Clintoon supporter. I don’t shive a git if a bunch of rich foreigners decide to cheer for people from their own countries instead of those from the U.S.A.

I’m gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I’m gonna toss the Styrofoam container right out the side
And there ain’t a __________ thing anybody can do about it
You know why? Because we got the bombs, that’s why

Two words, nuclear f______ weapons, okay?
Russia, Germany, Romania
They can have all the democracy they want
They can have a big democracy cake walk
Right through the middle of Tienanmen square

And it won’t make a lick of difference
Because we’ve got the bombs, okay? John Wayne’s not dead
He’s frozen and as soon as we find the cure for cancer
We’re gonna thaw out the duke and he’s gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower?

Well multiple that by 15 million times
That’s how pissed off the Duke’s gonna be
I’m gonna get the Duke and John Cassavetes

(Hey)
And Lee Marvin
(Hey)
And Sam Peckinpah
(Hey)
And a case of whiskey and drive down to Texas

-Dennis Leary (A__hole)

Wasn’t this all supposed to change when we replaced Evil Warmonger Bush with Enlightened, Nobel Prize-Winning Barry? The world was supposed to love us again!

No dead bodies on the Beach Volleyball beach.

Yet.

But there was that bit about a kayaker hitting a submerged couch and capsizing his boat.

Tape them and FF thru the commercials and the events you don’t care for

Also allows for pauses and replays at one’s own leisure. I’ve watched the exciting 4 x 100 Men’s Freestyle several times and get chills each time

USA USA USA !!!

I was watching that game. The announcer was simply stating the obvious, I have no problem with what was said. Especially in third world countries, they love cheering against the US. Sports are a proxy for their barely concealed resentment/jealousy of all things American (oops I’m not supposed to call myself an American, it offends them). You know what, f ‘em, America first, and MAGA!
