Every four years, Americans of all backgrounds — Republican or Democrat, rich or poor, urban or rural — come together to cheer on the U.S. winter Olympic team.

For generations, Americans tuned in to the Olympic Games with pride, eager to cheer on fellow American patriots who competed not only for medals, but for the nation itself. Back then, every American loved and was proud of our country — regardless of political disagreements — because they understood what it means to be an American.
Unfortunately, that seems to have changed today. I have been extremely disappointed to see some American athletes expressing "mixed emotions" about representing the United States in this year’s Olympic Games because of their views on politics and — you guessed it — President Donald Trump.
