    “Yeah, this 8+ year Olympic athlete over here, what a loser,” said the obese old rapist, via his own Twitter rip-off made exclusively for other sad individuals, flanked by a washed-up children’s YouTuber and a man in his late 50’s who chose the name “kid” for himself.

    Am I the only one who thinks patriotism includes speaking out to help your country achieve its potential, rather than blindly accepting whatever you’re told?

      Patriotism is loving your country and recognizing it has flaws, and wanting to fix those flaws.

      Nationalism is when your country is the best country no matter what and any criticism should be met with mockery and ridicule.

        while thats true it really can be hard to express actual patriotism while not coming across as sounding nationalistic. the damn xenophobes will ruin everything for all of us if we allow them.

      Would that mean acknowledging that my ignorance is less valuable than your wisdom?

      Yes? Then yes, you are the only one — now stop being a pussy and take these shots, we have to deprogram the “empathy” out of you.

    One of the founding principles is the freedom of speech and freedom of expression. So if anything they are representing the USA. If a group of pedos get to rule this country without censorship then Olympians can be athletes and speak their minds.

    BTW, calling Jake Paul a boxer is like calling my grandma a boxer. I guess that’s what you call someone that puts on the gloves and becomes a punching bag for a real boxer.
