Many Americans are rightly outraged as some Team USA athletes at the Winter Olympics in Milan have expressed "mixed emotions" about representing our great nation, even suggesting the flag doesn't stand for everything happening back home. These privileged competitors, given the extraordinary opportunity to wear the red, white, and blue on the world stage, have chosen instead to criticize America amid its strong leadership and policies protecting our borders and values.This ungrateful behavior dishonors the countless patriots who have sacrificed for our freedoms and the dream of competing for the United States. Representing America should be an immense honor, not a platform for airing personal gripes or undermining the country that made their success possible. True patriots stand proud, not whine about the very system that elevated them.Calls to send these athletes home if they continue trashing America are growing louder—and they make perfect sense. The Olympics demand unity and gratitude, not division. If wearing the flag feels "hard," perhaps they don't belong on the team. America deserves representatives who love and defend her without apology. 🇺🇸
