NBC Olympics announcer wants you to know that everybody cheers against the US at the games

A volleyball match Saturday between the U.S. and Puerto Rico in Rio de Janeiro included a ball out call against the Americans, prompting the Brazilian audience to cheer, according to The Daily Caller.

The unidentified NBC announcer was quick to point out that U.S. teams receive negative responses “everywhere” they play, other than at home.

“And you heard the cheers from the pro-Brazilian, pro-Puerto Rican crowd here,” the person said. “You don’t know, the United States gets cheered against everywhere in the world except the United States.”

If they’re not booing NBC for showing Nothing But Commercials, they’re booing Obama.

And also, they certainly are not good representatives for our country, getting caught in a whorehouse down there.

I’m sure Russian Navy Patriot will be devastated to learn the cheating Russians have been getting roundly booed. It was quite audible on my TV last night. LOL.

No. That actually happened in Davenport, Iowa.

He didn’t blame Trump and his heated rhetoric?

Nope, he left that for the "brilliant and knowledgeable" leftist media "analysts" to "deduce", as planned.

Big deal. The IOC expects them to have sex 42 times while there.

We aren’t watching either, not a minute. Swimmers in a
cesspool isn’t to my liking (by that I mean, the MEDIA),
and I can’t testify to the polluted waterways at this
Olympics - cause I haven’t watched it.

I’d have thought, by this time in Hussein’s reign, that
the waters would be receding AND clean! (When Hussein O.
said it was morning in America in 2007, he meant
“mourning”. You gotta parse Hussein’s words.)

Yes, they did train in US colleges. They should have a hyphen with the country they are representing. That would give a better descriptor of why they are good enough to compete in the Olympics.

(I really like my idea. At University of Arizona they trained lots of foreign athletes to swim in the Olympics. )

Yeah, but at least you shouldn’t have to pay for it. What kind of loser do you have to be, to have to pay for it.

I laughed when I heard the William’s sisters lost early in the tennis matches.

I am reminded of the moslem third worlder wearing the Osama bin Laden T-shirt screaming “where is America? Help us!” after his country was devastated by a tsunami or earthquake. I can’t remember the event but I clearly remember the man. They hate us until they need our money.

The good news is that as America transitions from Republic to Empire, all these envious turds will soon find themselves working in salt mines, or working oars in a galley somewhere. Then they’ll really have a reason to boo.

UF sent 30 athletes. I always said instead of the countries, they should compete for the US university they went to. ;)
