I noted reports that both the USA team, and the US Vice President, J. D. Vance, were booed by the audience at the opening ceremony for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. Apparently this has not been reported openly across USA media.
Resentment had been building against the USA for reportedly sending ICE agents to Milan, which just layered on top of the barrage of anti-European sentiment from the US Administration in recent times, and of course their belligerency towards Greenland. Despite the Olympics committee asking for everyone to be nice to each other (essentially), I believe the crowd is to be commended for making their true feelings known. Free democracy thrives in Europe, and that includes exercising Free Speech.
