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.”

The announcers missed the obvious question: Why is Puerto Rico, a possession of the United States, sending its own delegation to the Olympics? (And how much is it costing the U.S. taxpayer?) It’s as ridiculous as Hell’s Kitchen, East St. Louis or Compton sending their own teams to the Olympics.
How smart is this guy? He gloats over anti Americanism apparently forgetting that his network depends on American viewers. Ideology ALWAYS comes first with the left. Keep digging.
1. Puerto Rico is a territory and potential state of the United States.
2. Puerto Rico is not an independent country.
So why would Puerto Rico be competing in the Olympics against the United States?
Isn’t the video, a view of a CNN studio?
Yeah, just to be sure that we’re talking about the same thing....
.... We’re talking about Volleyball, right ?
Yeah who gives a shit. When we’re talking about 500 yard sniper shots or single Marines taking out groups of musloids give me a call.
How successful would the Olympics be if the USA did not participate?
Maybe they didn't get Hussein's Executive Order:
Obama: "I’ve Restored the US as the ‘Most Respected Country in the World"[sic]
There’s basketball in the Olympics?
Common belief south of the border is that they are poor because America “steals” their wealth.
Can’t be their own corrupt culture, of course.
Human scuz.
"The Republic of the Congo gladly welcomes the 2015 All Africa Games to be hosted in the capital city of Brazzaville. This is the fiftieth anniversary of the African Olympics...."
Need I say more?
;>)
IF that’s true, the fact is, we are still the World’s Superpower. Everyone likes to diss the Big Guy. We’re like, The Man. It’s human nature.
Take down the countries that are booing us and cut any welfare and I litany protection we send them. Let them starve and die trying to defend themselves.
Military, not I litany...

The statement is false. Lastnight at the swiming meet, the Americans were the only ones who got audible cheers when they were introduced.
NBC sucks, they advertise that you can watch on your phone etc., but you have to have cable or direct tv subscription. I just want to watch diving. None of it is going to be on any TV channel at a decent hour.
What the “booers” don’t realize is it spurs Anericans to kick axx even more when they are booed.
Yeah, that’s what I read that USC by far has sent the most.
Ask the folks in Moscow.
They do everywhere; they point is..? Why they are afraid of Trump of course!
Finally, ...been waiting for this comment a while.
Cut foreign aid to zero, military protection to zero, immigration to zero, trade preferences to zero, and advise American travel at own risk.
