The Olympics has ALWAYS been one of my absolute favorite things to watch & cheer Team 🇺🇸 USA! I absolutely have loved growing up & never feel prouder to be an American than during this special time of history! I feel like this year there is more “agendas” and not the “pure” joy of athletes that have worked their whole lives as well as families supporting & sacrificing! EVERY athlete has worked their “guts out” to be aloud to shine for Team USA! I feel like therefore, ALL of their stories should shine & be told! This is the ONE time to be United and stand together for Team USA 🇺🇸! We are given the opportunity every 4 years to link arms together as a nation & back TEAM USA! Haven’t really felt that this year or the “magic” and “wonder” of the Olympics by the coverage. It just seems more negative and not inclusive for EVERY athlete. Feel like that puts undue pressure on these amazing athletes. So sad & my heart breaks for Simon Biles! She is outstanding, she is also apart of a team! So glad she has stated that! She “gets it”, she is apart of Team USA 🇺🇸 not solo! What a classy lady to stick by her team mates & cheer them on! We can sure learn from her, we ARE Team USA! We are better together, working better together and not against one another! I believe that is the beauty of the Olympics it reminds us we should be proud of the countries we come from & those who have paved the way for us! Our media could do ALOT better job of this! I think Hoda Kobe is the MOST positive & BEST cheerleader for Team 🇺🇸 USA! So glad she is there to be the “mama cheerleader” of the athletes!
