      I would like to give a sincere thank you to the rest of the world for reminding the assistant manager of the “free” world what freedom is supposed to sound like.

    I’ve watched a handful of videos now and I really don’t hear a significant amount of boos

      Yeah I was expecting like when the orange pedo went to that football game a few months ago, with resounding boos from the entire crowd.

    The most important thing is that he heard it.
    Yeah, ok, he has no shame but even the shameless don’t like the idea of strangers just booing them for being there.

      Yeah but instead of “I’m bad” he will just be like “everyone at the Olympics was a piece of shit”

      No, he won’t respond to any shame he feels except by doubling down. IMO It’s much more important for ordinary people in the us to know.

      I’m a huge fan of booing for exactly the reason you said. Sometimes I do it solo at work when someone does something really ridiculous. I feel like this world cup series in America could get kinda wild and no ones really considering it.

        The red coats are the monarchists, that’s what Trump’s wants to be, you need a revolution from your government with well regulated militias of social Democrats to fight the Nazis in power.

          Yeah, as much as I’m situationally on my own country’s side right now, I probably would have been a Patriot.

            Unfortunately your shithole and the Eurasian shithole known as Russia are both working hard to turn Europe into another shithole, and it’s fucking working too…

    That’s because viewers in the US drowned out the boos with their own lol.

    Also yes editing live broadcasts for propaganda purposes super bad.

    NBC said they didn’t do anything. I was watching something online which was specifically supposed to be showing the booing but I couldn’t hear it either. It was obviously there because there’s been so much about it, maybe it was about where the mics were.

      It was quiet on feeds. I could hear it on headphones, but on tinny built-in speakers you probably couldn’t.

      It didn’t feel like a particularly malicious edit to me, though. The commentators were obviously avoiding politics, perhaps under order, so not bringing it up is consistent.
