Why rooting for Lindsey Vonn to fail is un-American
This is about a classic an article as you could ever ask for, to illustrate the medias skew, bias, and hijacking of any event for a way to repeat their left wing agenda. Read through it and there are so many slanted comments, and inserted tags such as "every single poll along the political spectrum shows that at least half of Americans disapprove of the president" in allying that statement to a skiers blurted out dislike for the president. Paragraph after paragraph appear to be about Lindsey Vonn, but are actually why you need to hate right wing people. This is worthy of Dr Goebbels....Should be used in teaching propaganda 101 classes.
Just a path of destruction...
As for the subject itself ...
Vonn said. “There’s so much hate in the world."
Look in the mirror, Lindsey. People in glass houses ...
Concentrate on the ONLY reason you were being interviewed at all, your ability in your sport. Making a spectacle of your political opinions are counterproductive to your chances of success.
"root for American athletes to lose to foreign countries simply because of what they’ve said"
Busbee, that is the same thing that Lindsey is doing, you incompetent hack propagandist.
If you do, you are misinformed. -- Mark Twain
I LOVED Hearing that she failed. In fact, MOST of the athletes who said they wouldn't come to the white house, have actually EARNED the right of NOT being invited! Good on Them.
And whatever happened to cheering for the winner DESPITE what country they came from.
The sad part is that MOST gold medal winners from OTHER COUNTRIES would probably love to come to the White House and get their picture with POTUS.
For me, I rooted for my team as an American. But if I have the choice of winning by cheating, or by wishing ill will on other players... I am missing the point. IT IS NOT about the WINNING, but the STRIVING to be THE best, and YOUR best.
Of course, that last part flies in the face of our Social Justice Warriors!
BTW, what was the Venezuela Medal count for 2018 Winter Olympics... Oh, never mind, apparently the runners ran to another country where the FOOD WAS hiding!
I don't think of them (except when someone reminds me of it;^)
P155 on the olympics- its nothing but a forum for statist divisive propaganda. Has been that way for decades.
People are being taught to dislike those who merely disagree with them, not just dislike some of what they say.
But if Vonn was willing to stick her neck out, then she has to ignore the response if she is to perform well.
When some one asks me how I feel, I answer "with my hands"...............really pisses them off!!!!!!!!!!
People got emotional, but I knew they were getting emotional about. In this article, it's President Trump or President Obama. It's not their policies. It's the notion they're like the devil or an the Nazis, and any thing they say or do gets woven into something diabolical. In this article, they don't even mention the diabolical plan or anything. It's just political figures. I can't fathom why anyone cares.
It's like I'm from another planet from these people because I think we got a complete clown for a president, yet the policies are similar enough to what I expected from the candidate I voted for (Hillary Clinton) that I don't really care. Gary Johnson was my first choice, and if it's him vs Clinton or Trump, I get the cause for emotion. President Trump acts like a complete jackass, and the results are mostly the same as if my first choice among the major candidates were president.
So in my "Martian" view of it, these people are upset about nothing.
What I can hope is that athletes AND fans alike will take the time to study out moral issues and come to an informed understanding on them that they can then discuss rationally. Far too many, however, speak what they think people want to hear (Dixie Chicks, anyone? or NFL "take-a-knee" Colin Kapaernick) and then find out that social justice warriors don't make good entertainers - especially on the Left.

Oh, me dino knows! It's a Winter Olympics uniform thing. So maybe she's at least wearing black long johns to ward off the cold.
Also maybe~should she win gold, silver or bronze~Vonn will hold up her prize and make some "Dump Trump" statement to the delight of libtards everywhere.
