    Do US athletes have to go through state department training on being rude to other countries before theyre allowed to represent the US? Who goes up to someone theyre about to play and says they don't respect them?

      I've seen some friendliness between Yank athletes and Chinese athletes.

      Emma Navarro, however, is the daughter of a subprime loan billionaire. She was probably taught from a young age "the help" are "the other" and lesser humans.

      She's a particularly bad case of a Nepo baby with a superiority complex.

      There's an old joke in Poland, which i won't quote here, about exam to the US diplomatic corps where examinees are chastised they didn't capitalised slurs and swear words when writing to king of small African country.

      I will say, the runners were cool as hell. I even found myself cheering for America at points

    She had already beaten her when the disrespect happened and then went on to win gold. The top tweet seems very confused.

      I think she goes about things in a pretty cutthroat way. It makes for a locker room that doesn't have a lot of camaraderie, so it's tough to face an opponent like that, who I really don't respect.

      The quote from Navarro. Fuck knows what being cutthroat means to this nepobaby though.

        The camaraderie thing to do would have been to roll over and allow her American better to win. Unfortunately she has no camaraderie

        She lost and can't handle it, so she's being as whiny about it as possible

        I don't think it's supposed to be deep, it's just supposed to be negative and vague
