    What part ruined?

    Because some decided they didn't want to turn and face the flag? Put their hand over their heart?

    You just need enough people to refuse to watch.

    I'm trying to understand from those that think something was ruined what it was that they thought was ruined ...

    I do think that there's a little bit of hypocrisy playing for your country, collecting a pay check from your country, but then failing to acknowlege or support your company. Don't you?

    I also think it's incredibly bad taste to not be respectful of a 98 year old WWII veteran ... for all of the social justice activity out there today, let's think for a second what this world looks like if our "greatest generation" wasn't able to successfully win WWII? We can always strive to be better but let's get away from this idea that everything sucks because it isn't perfect today.

    BTW, did you notice all the empty seats?

    My guess is that there's enough locker room division within the US team that they don't win the Gold this time around.

    Don’t know if the locker room is divided or not and don’t care. I don’t care when someone turns their back to the flag and playing the anthem before sporting events has always been unnecessary. There is no anthem before concerts, Broadway plays, comedy shows, etc, so why sports?

    That said, you are spot on about the hypocrisy of playing and collecting a paycheck and turning away. I also agree the 98 year old WW2 vet deserves respect at the very least.

    I don't care about the locker room either other than I think we all know that this is the stuff that can split a locker room if it becomes an issue.

    I'll be surprised if the US wins the gold ... just my best guess

    What are they protesting?

    Let me guess, a broad "Racial injustice" paintbrush term a la Kapercuck. Never a real list of real injustices today, just the broad, nebulus term nobody can pin down.
