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.

NBC is a bunch of uneducated idiots.

They could not even identify the Birthplace of Alexander the Great (Pella Greece).

Instead NBC went full commie and pushed Yugoslavia. It would be akin to saying John Wayne was born in England.

I’ve boycotted the modern olympics since 1992, when America went pro with the mens’ basketball team.

You really think the Williams sisters cared about this tournament?

They just wanted to make their token appearance and get the Hell out of Dodge.

I agree! Give the University of Florida the credit they deserve; without their athletic department, no way would they be world class.

You obviously didn't watch the Men's volleyball team against Canada yesterday.

Probably because there was a clause in their endorsement contract that they had to show up.

Wait wait wait: Did the kayaker get poop in his mouth?

I missed the couch story.

Saw a dead body photo from there last week.

Do those people simply lack a functioning government?

There are no more amateurs in the Olympics. Just rich pros like the NBA players or Michael Phelps, and everyday ones like the rest.

Cheering against the USA just proves they think we’re still top dog. And maybe we still are—for how much longer is the question.

Is that all? USC sent 44. USC has sent more athletes to the Summer and Winter Olympics, and they have won more medals and gold medals, than any other school.
