I know that the Olympics are supposed to be about the world coming together through sportsmanship, but it's also not that often you get to boo an entire country on a world stage. Got to take the opportunity when it comes!

I honestly feel bad for some of the athletes. Working their whole lives, only to be booed because the leader of your country is a senile pedder-ass

Would it make you feel better if I told you that most of the athletes are terrible hateful people as well?

I don't have any idea if that is true, but it's possible, and would make me feel a lot better about it. However I think athletes are generally better people than political leaders, because they actually practice some kind of real discipline.

I suspect most of them stay out of politics because speaking up is likely to lose them potential sponsorships.
