I do believe we have lost lots of respect from our allies.
SAD to say the least.

(1,266 posts)I'm normally quick to defend us to foreigners (faults and all), even for some of the less than inspiring moments in our history. I really have to give up at the moment though.

(6,161 posts)what a downer for the American performers or in the audience.
I hope they appreciate though why this is happening.

Americans in the audience? Meh. They should damn well know why this is happening.

(64,256 posts)The other side is going to manifest this year when the world abandons the World Cup matches in the US (not so much in Canada and Mexico).
Let's get real, who the fuck from any civilized country would come to this shithole, especially at high-security sporting events patrolled by heavily armed failed Garda job applicants?
The Olympics are also likely to be another self-induced face-plant.

(8,034 posts)I understand their action of booing the US.
Most people in the US are good people, it is our government that is horrific!
llmart
(17,320 posts)Yes, but the horrific government was put in place by the people who vote GOP, so don't let Americans off the hook. Look around you in your daily travels. I see an awful lot of people who are just plain ignorant, uncivil and self -centered assholes.

I have no joy for this 250 year anniversary bullshit. Who celebrates the loss of country?
