US Vice President JD Vance endured a chorus of “boos” as US athletes began their march at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony, after Israeli athletes faced the same unwarm welcome.
Who the fuck thinks a stern warning will prevent fans and visitors from booing evil scumbags. The IOC are out of touch, out of date and out of ideas
Because they’re dicks
Why is israel allowed to play but not russia again?
Russia was caught doping. It has nothing to do with politics.
Sure, buddy
Yes, pal.
I’m not your pal, guy!
I’m not your guy, friend!
I’m not your friend, brother!
Because Israel and USA are buddies
I’m surprised they are even in it, given that they aren’t exactly known for their “wintry” climate. I guess it’s like the Jamaican bobsledding team.
It should’ve been louder
It was edited out.
That makes sense. All the videos I’ve seen the booing seemed very quiet. Of course those fuckers would edit it out.
“Stern warning” hahaha
The the international Olympics committee is an absolute joke. They claim they don’t want to be political and that’s why Israel is allowed to compete and expect not to get backlash.
They have to be taking bribes, that’s the only reason they would be making these otherwise insane decisions.
The squeeze the life out of host cities.
It’s not like we can actually do anything about them. Booing at least makes us feel good for a brief moment.
People are allowed to vent, and it is healthy to do so.
If you’ve ever been booed, I’m not sure this take would feel great.
I support making Vance feel unwelcome (and that was indeed the target, not team USA). I’m less enthused about the athletes being targeted. The optics of ‘we shame all associated to things we dislike’ is aspect conservative voters claim to fear/dislike from progressives.
I’ll have more sympathy if they publicly make statements condemning the genocide that their country is committing. Until then, sucks to suck. They are not the victims here.
The optics of ‘we shame all associated to things we dislike’
“Dislike” is way underselling this. I “dislike” pineapple on pizza. This is something rather different.
Do tell: do you check if they have before you boo?
I know I haven’t. And the few times I’ve checked, it has always been more of an edge case than expected.
Hans? Are we the baddies?
Trump’s reaction. The “Oooo” face is funny. Trump fucking hates Vance. You can tell.
“He doesn’t get boo’d in this country.”
X (Doubt)
Vance hates trump too. He’s called him an idiot, reprehensible, noxious, cultural heroin, and America’s hitler. He’s putting up with it because he’s next in line.
We deserve it.
Just Dumb’s oligarch convoy required 14 airplanes and 100 vehicles. WTF, how much did that shit cost?
Lucky it was just “boo”
So? They are still allowed to participate.
And none of the EU or other vassal states will do anything against them, despite what the population wants or thinks.I think they should treat US athletes like the did clean Russian athletes.
Allow them to compete, but not as representatives of the US.
Ya love to see it!
Fuck fascists!
I watched a video. I couldn’t hear them. I Just had to take the anouncer’s word.
Article’s video literally just gets replaced with an ad.
