Why do they fall for this **** every time. If your not proud then resign your position on the team put your politics first and quit in protest.

“It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now… Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S.”

The anti-ICE, liberal athletes are already insufferable at the Olympics…

DISGUSTING: Team USA Olympic Freestyle Skier Hunter Hess: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now… It’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren’t.”

And? So what? You are allowed to disagree. You job is to ski, not talk.

Of course, it takes more courage and dedication to rise to the top of your field and defend your beliefs for the world to see than it does to hide behind a keyboard and throw insults.

Of course, people who confuse the ability to insult with intelligence have trouble with this.

GFY Hess

I used to look forward to the Olympics, back when it was just about competition and excellence.

Once again, libs ruin everything.

The complete lack of awareness of how every other country operates is always interesting. You do realize you enjoy more freedom - as do those in our country illegally - than basically every other person at that Olympics, right? Apparently not

Privileged kid who was put on the mountain at 3 years old with parents that spent their time grooming a spoiled brat skier. **** that dude.

US Ski Team is not known for its moral character.

This is the reason we should continue not paying olympians. **** em. Let em go somewhere else and be angry there.

He's only backed by Hollywood, the media, academia, and as of the last election, just less than half the voters.

But, yeah, COURAGE!!!!

No it's knowing the right place for your personal views. The left always co-opt what is supposed to be a non political event to make it political in support of their views.

Why even voice stuff like this?

No matter the country you live in, the government is always going to do something you disagree with. No need to vocalize that on the world stage.

Also weird how many loser journalists lean into this type of BS. Anyone asking people from various European countries about rapes and murders perpetrated by migrants? China gonna face any scrutiny? Israel? Is Russia there?

If you're going to represent your country, do it with pride and positivity.

Wedging this stuff into the Olympics is no problem for the the Lefties who want their broken toys to bring this crap up at Thanksgiving dinner with their familes.

And if there is an international organization more eaten up with politics than the IOC, I'd like to hear about it.

Foreman, (a Houston guy btw), is one of the greatest Americans of all time.

Guess those multi million dollar Wheaties box deals are small potatoes these days.

It brings up mixed emotions for me. Do I want him to wipe out spectacularly during qualifying runs or wait until he has a shot at a medal? I can't decide.

It's low class and trashy. Of course their parents didn't raise them better.

No, still want a high medal count for Team USA. And THEN his 15 minutes are up.

Normally, I'm with you. But I'm so over the idiocy of some athletes thinking that anybody gives two s**** what he or she thinks about anything other than their particular sport. I think that all of them, even ones on "my side", need to be like Kofi Annan who doesn't have an army and Shut. The. F*** . Up.

The whole point of the Olympics was to put aside differences and enjoy sport and the company of those we may disagree with to help find common ground


This guy looks like a tool

What these clowns don't seem to understand that, even with the problems these morons perceive in our country, they are free to voice their opinions without fear. Do we see any Chinese athletes making similar statements? Not if they don't want to be disappeared.

These bozos are free to hold whatever crappy opinions they want, but they are there in representation of the United States. Shut up and perform.

lol. He talks like a leftist HR woman where most sentences sound like a question. I think they call it upspeak. What a pathetic tool.

More WOKE politics

The woke Olympics. I’m out.

Notice that it's usually white American athletes who go overseas and sheet on the USA.
Black athletes just go, do their best, and come back without sharing their views and opinions.

I'd still like to watch the Olympics. Especially hockey and figure skating and skiing. But I wish they had just said we're not here to talk about politics or world issues. We're here for sports. And shame on the liberal reporters for continuing to ask this crap.

It's really not even hard. But when you're a liberal and/or you hate Trump you can't keep your damn mouth shut.

But don't worry about them. Pay attention to the ones that are grateful to be there and get that good spirit.

I guarantee you nothing is "affecting her" in her everyday life.

Like this

This is how we represent America—

“I love representing the U.S. I freakin’ love living there. I love it, and I’m so happy I get to represent USA!”

GOOD LUCK Tamyra Mensah-Stock.
