Numerous college students are refusing to root for the United States at the Tokyo Olympics and instead are cheering for individual athletes.
“I don’t root for countries, I root for athletes,” a student told Campus Reform.
Prior to the opening ceremony last week, Campus Reform spoke with University of South Florida students about the Olympics and athletes who choose to protest during the games.
“I’m not going to be rooting for any team just because it’s some country that I live in,” another student said.
“Patriotism shouldn’t be that strong. I’m in this country because I was born in it.”

One student added that if Campus Reform correspondent Ophelie Jacobson had asked during the last administration, he would maybe not root for team USA.
When asked if it was embarrassing that some athletes don’t seem proud to be Americans, some students said they were not proud to be Americans either.
“I don’t like being an American either, even though I’m born here,” one student said.
“I think there is such corruption and a crumbling infrastructure. Like why is there no free health care? Why are so many people suffering because of housing? That is such a great example of how f***ing corrupt it is here.”
A recent Gallup poll found that U.S. adults’ pride in being Americans “remains well below” pre-2017 levels.
Jacobson told Fox News that it was “sad” to see people “lose all hope and interest in portraying American excellence on the global stage.”
“There used to be a time where the Olympics would unite all of us, regardless of whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat,” she said Thursday.
“With everything that’s happened in the past year and a half, with a global pandemic and so much political division, you would think that the Olympics would be that thing that unites all Americans. But unfortunately, according to these woke college students, the Olympics are seeming to divide us even more.”
Jacobson also asked the students about Olympian Gwen Berry’s protest at the Olympic trials and if they have a duty to represent the country well.
“No, my only duty is to go there, compete as an athlete and bring home gold, but that doesn’t have to be for the country; that could be for me and my teammates,” one student said.
“Given what’s been going on with this country and how divided our politics have been, there’s not really a reason to stand with one with the country.”
ANTFIA
If you choose to watch the Olympics and don’t cheer your country, time for you to say good by.
This is what the school systems are producing, anti American trash that will give up their freedom, and to stupid to know it.
You are so right. They really don’t have any idea of what they will lose. It is so, so sad. College ding bats today don’t realize that once Socialism/Communism takes hold, they will NOT be able to play the activist or say anything bad about the Government or else its jail time for them. How will they like having that Harvard Degree and end up making exactly what his next door neighbor The Janitor makes. I guess they will get use to living in whatever the govt deems fits for them to live in too. Whatever! Stupid, stupid people.
So true my friend !
True and all they have to do to see that is look at places like China and Cuba.
Also the people should know what they have planned for them.
“The plan for an overhaul of the world is the brainchild of an elite group of businessmen, politicians, and their intellectual entourage that meet in Davos, Switzerland, in January each year. Brought into existence in 1971, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has become a mega global event since then. More than three thousand leaders from all over the world attended the meeting in 2020.
Under the guidance of the WEF, the agenda of the Great Reset says that the completion of the current industrial transformation requires a thorough overhaul of the economy, politics, and society
… The consensus has emerged at the annual Davos meetings that the world needs a revolution, and that reforms have taken too long. The members of the WEF envision a profound upheaval at short notice. The time span should be so brief that most people will hardly realize that a revolution is going on. The change must be so swift and dramatic that those who recognize that a revolution is happening do not have the time to mobilize against it.
… Projects like the Great Reset leave unanswered the question of who rules the state. The state itself does not rule. It is an instrument of power. It is not the abstract state that decides, but the leaders of specific political parties and of certain social groups.
Earlier totalitarian regimes needed mass executions and concentration camps to maintain their power. Now, with the help of new technologies, it is believed, dissenters can easily be identified and marginalized. The nonconformists will be silenced by disqualifying divergent opinions as morally despicable.
… The 2020 lockdown worked as if it had been orchestrated – and perhaps it was. As if following a single command, the leaders of big and small nations – and of different stages of economic development – implemented almost identical measures. Not only did many governments act in unison, they also applied these measures with little regard for the horrific consequences of a global lockdown.
Months of economic stillstand have destroyed the economic basis of millions of families. Together with social distancing, the lockdown has produced a mass of people unable to care for themselves. First, governments destroyed the livelihood, then the politicians showed up as the savior.
… The lockdown and its consequences have brought a foretaste what is to come: a permanent state of fear, strict behavioral control, massive loss of jobs, and growing dependence on the state.”
Anthony Mueller, 2020
“The lockdown in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the implementation of long-held plans to establish a so-called new world order. Under the auspices of the World Economic Forum (WEF), global policymakers are advocating for a “Great Reset” with the intent of creating a global technocracy.
… This coming technocracy involves close cooperation between the heads of the digital industry and of governments. With programs such as guaranteed minimum income and healthcare for all, the new kind of governance combines strict societal control with the promise of comprehensive social justice.
The truth, however, is that this new world order of digital tyranny comes with a comprehensive social credit system.”
Anthony Mueller, 2020
They are just being prepared for their new lives as slaves.
The endgame will be a one-world government presiding over the earth for the benefit of global oligarchs and their superclass functionaries, leaving the mass of humanity as serfs, to serve the elite, while suffering impoverishment and immiseration. The plan includes scientifically engineered global population reduction (viruses/vaccines/genetically-modified food), cutting the world’s population to less than one billion, leaving the earth’s resources for the exclusive use of this global oligarchy.
This is exactly why you should NOT put you kids in the public school system, you end up with indoctrinated kids. & NOT THE GOOD KIND, welfare brats that want everything free. & hate their own country.
Of course they didn’t sacrifice ANYTHING for what they now have anyway.
Charter school, private school, home school is the only way to truly educate your kids ,
Get the UNION’s OUT Of public education. They are the problem , plus the ungrateful brats being raised right now.
