Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Like minds - came here to encourage the heckling. Give us hell, please.
We don't deserve the minimum level of respect anymore. Fuck us.
American here.
Jeer, mock, boo. Castigate. We shouldn’t have even been allowed this year.
If you hear our anthem turn your back, take a knee, walk away.
Mock America. It shows solidarity with Americans.
Well, the majority of us anyway.
They have yet to earn it.
Who didnt show at the polls? Fafo, i guess.
American here. Please boo us at the Olympics. We deserve it. Actually take it a step further. Don't let us participate in the games at all. Also while we're at it boot us from the WC and give hosting exclusively to Canada and Mexico.
As an American: No no - you should jeer the fuck out of us. We 100% deserve it. Large parts of our population evidently don’t understand or care about soft power (amongst many other important things), so we’ve nuked most of ours. Show my countrymen what the ramifications of that choice are.
I disagree. Our country wants to act like lawless Nazis and send the Gestapo to your country. Boo the shit out of us! And stop voting for fascists because your countries are going to become what we are if you do
I’m a Philadelphia Eagles fan; booing works. Please boo us, we deserve to stew in shame. Only frail pussies like our sorry excuse for a president can’t handle it. He’s sending the couch fucker because he’s too chickenshit.
Wrong, boo louder and be especially disrespectful if they play our stupid anthem.
Please boo.
Please don’t clap.
Please mock and humiliate us. Sincerely, an American.
If the Russians shouldn't be participating the Americans shouldn't either. Sucks for the athletes who trained so hard though.
Or the Chinese.
of all the corrupt people/org, IOC is probably more corrupt than trump.
Respect is earned, not given.
Yeah lick the boot and you’ll be next. Don’t they have a fascist in office anyway
They do, but perhaps less overtly than our orange monster.
Georgia Meloni.
Meloni's tenure has been described as the "most right-wing" government in Italy since World War II,[19][20][21] whilst her time in government is variously described as a shift towards the far-right in Italian politics.
The Olympics is a traveling embezzlement and drug/human trafficking convention. These fuckers don’t have the moral integrity to lecture anyone.
Lol no
Boo freely, teach us some new curses in your languages, and I hope our athletes use their moments in the sun to protest as well. I do appreciate y'all letting them compete, since they don't have any more say about ICE or Trump than anyone else here, and have trained as hard as anyone else there. Feel free to boycott any Games held in our country as well, nothing pisses off His Fatjesty like being blamed for losing money, even though he hates Los Angeles and wants us to fail.
Jeer, boo, and laugh away
I'm sure people are smart enough to do both things.
Respect deez nutz?
