What sucks is that this bullshit makes me cynical and tired when relatively normal Americans do cool things to. Sorry Simon Biles, your comment about sportsmanship being important falls flat as hell when the only thing that matters and is shown is when Americans do well, not to mention when your Olympic peers repeatedly demonstrate their inability to compete. I don't know her politics, beliefs or whatever but it's so frustrating when athletes get who may or may not understand their cynical deployment as propaganda get coopted into "America number one" bullshit.
it's hard to watch the US in any olympic event because it always comes with the USA USA USA #1 #1 #1 bullshit
