      I would like to give a sincere thank you to the rest of the world for reminding the assistant manager of the “free” world what freedom is supposed to sound like.

    The most important thing is that he heard it.
    Yeah, ok, he has no shame but even the shameless don’t like the idea of strangers just booing them for being there.

      No, he won’t respond to any shame he feels except by doubling down. IMO It’s much more important for ordinary people in the us to know.

      Yeah but instead of “I’m bad” he will just be like “everyone at the Olympics was a piece of shit”

        “It’s proof of just how much we’re winning, they’re booing because they’re jealous of our success and freedoms”

      I’m a huge fan of booing for exactly the reason you said. Sometimes I do it solo at work when someone does something really ridiculous. I feel like this world cup series in America could get kinda wild and no ones really considering it.

      You should make a YouTube or some kind of downloadable or playable clip of that. I would nab it right up.

    That’s because viewers in the US drowned out the boos with their own lol.

    Also yes editing live broadcasts for propaganda purposes super bad.

    I’ve watched a handful of videos now and I really don’t hear a significant amount of boos

      Yeah I was expecting like when the orange pedo went to that football game a few months ago, with resounding boos from the entire crowd.

    NBC said they didn’t do anything. I was watching something online which was specifically supposed to be showing the booing but I couldn’t hear it either. It was obviously there because there’s been so much about it, maybe it was about where the mics were.

      My understanding is that the host country supplies the feeds for all events. Broadcasters that get the rights to broadcast are choosing what feeds to broadcast, adding their own commentary, doing their own editing. They also film their own “local” interest and interviews. Host countries can’t have each broadcaster fighting over where to place cameras, etc. The sound would have been part of the host country’s live feed. I saw a small snippet of the CBC (Canada) broadcast and the commentators commented on the booing when the feed showed Vance, but it was hard to hear in the broadcast itself. I think the issue is that while the other broadcasters acknowledged it, NBC did not. I did not see the NBC snippet myself.

      It was quiet on feeds. I could hear it on headphones, but on tinny built-in speakers you probably couldn’t.

      Yeah because people who would boo him don’t go to his speaking events. I would protest outside but I wouldn’t go to hear him speak.
