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?

That's just how US people are raised.

Yeah, we call it K-12.

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.

Difference between DaBiden and angry-place

Trump respects his competition. Biden just goes full dog-faced-pony-soldier
