Students refuse to cheer on Team USA

With the Olympic opening ceremonies right around the corner, Campus Reform reporter Ophelie Jacobson went to the University of South Florida to ask students who they plan on rooting for during the Olympic Games.

Students told Jacobson that they weren’t planning on rooting for Team USA, but rather, for individual athletes.

“I'm not going to be rooting for any team just because it's some country that I live in...because the truth is, patriotism shouldn't be that strong,” one student said.

Another student said “if you would’ve asked me in the last administration, maybe not.”
