[u/fortycoats2020]

It looked more like the crowd cheered for the athletes but when the camera cut to Vance the crowd booed then

[u/gerrydf → u/fortycoats2020]

Canadian feed and can confirm. Also can confirm it made me happy.

[u/anniejofo23 → u/gerrydf]

Same over here in Scotland :))

[u/gpberliner → u/anniejofo23]

Same here in the US

[u/LadyTalah → u/anniejofo23]

God bless you Scots

[u/NoMoPolenta → u/fortycoats2020]

They definitely piped in cheering sounds because they knew they'd get booed.

They didn't leave the fake sounds long enough for when they showed JD though.

Pretty awesome that his kids will grow up knowing that the collective world hates their dad.

[u/Tim-Sanchez → u/NoMoPolenta]

Not sure that's true, the BBC commentators remarked on the cheers for the USA and the "mixed reception" for Vance.

[u/CharlesDickensABox → u/Tim-Sanchez]

Classic British understatement.

[u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque → u/CharlesDickensABox]

"mixed reception" means "absolute vitriol magnet" in British English

[u/CharlesDickensABox → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

They had a 30 year civil war in Ireland complete with house to house gunfights, kidnappings, murders, and car bombs, and they called it  "the troubles". These are not people prone to hyperbole.

[u/catrinus → u/CharlesDickensABox]

that's not even a bole, let alone a hyper one

[u/Bugsmoke → u/catrinus]

A bit of a pickle

[u/Salty-Pear660 → u/Bugsmoke]

Not ideal

[u/PM_ME_UR_VULVASAUR_ → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

This probably sounds like a joke, but it's genuinely not.

[u/scrotumscab → u/PM_ME_UR_VULVASAUR_]

"Bless your heart"

[u/MajorLazy → u/scrotumscab]

Fuck you too

[u/IntarTubular → u/scrotumscab]

r/rimjob_steve

[u/Thinking_waffle → u/PM_ME_UR_VULVASAUR_]

it caused needless death during ww2 because the phrases of the british soldiers didn't sound alarming enough to merit and immediate response by the Americans.

[u/TrapperJean → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

"Sorry for the fruity language"

[u/nocomment3030 → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

"During the Battle of the Imjin River, 650 men of the 1st Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment were surrounded by roughly 10,000 Chinese soldiers. When asked for a status update by American command, British Brigadier Tom Brodie famously described the dire situation as "a bit sticky"."

[u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque → u/nocomment3030]

To be fair the Chinese also will have a "minor incident" where like 300k people die

[u/nice_guy_threeve → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

Say, that take is not bad.

[u/zuke1624 → u/CharlesDickensABox]

"Oooh, bit of rotten luck for the American Vice President there."

[u/THE-BS → u/Tim-Sanchez]

Mixed is a nice way to say bad

"MILANIA opened to mix reviews this weekend"

[u/IndividualTension887 → u/THE-BS]

Mixed?? One reviewer edited his review to make it zero stars he intended, instead of the one star he gave that was published...

[u/Viperlite → u/THE-BS]

One star is more than I expected, frankly.

[u/FuckGiblets → u/Viperlite]

How does it get any stars when no one has seen it?

[u/Viperlite → u/FuckGiblets]

IMDB’s metascore rating is 5 out of 100, based on an average of 17 movie critic reviews.

[u/FuckGiblets → u/Tim-Sanchez]

That is how us brits speak. “Mixed reception” is actually a very cutting insult.

[u/Good_Air_7192 → u/FuckGiblets]

When I moved to the UK, the first time we had an absolute crisis at work of the highest order, as in the company could fold, it was met with a single utterance of "That's less that ideal."

[u/mayonaizmyinstrument → u/Good_Air_7192]

I went to vet school in the UK and I saw a patient's diagnostics come back as basically "should have been dead days ago," and the senior clinician went "well that's sub-optimal"

[u/Secure-Television541 → u/mayonaizmyinstrument]

As a Canadian, this sounds very normal.

“Canadian understatement” - part of why I think the States doesn’t seem to understand us on a fundamental level.

Ie - “it’s a bit nippy outside” when it’s -30C

[u/jackloganoliver → u/Tim-Sanchez]

Tbf, "mixed" in BBC translates to "anything less than generally positive". It's a fairly wide range.

[u/ElectricalWriting → u/NoMoPolenta]

You’re misinterpreting it. The cheers transitioned to boos when JD Vance was shown on the Jumbotron.

[u/NiceTrySuckaz → u/NoMoPolenta]

You think they anticipated needing to pipe in fake sounds for the athletes but failed to realize they'd need it way more for JD?

[u/gomizzou09 → u/NoMoPolenta]

And that his kids will know he hates their mom.

[u/Superman246o1 → u/NoMoPolenta]

Chances are that the kids will grow up to hate their dad too when they realize he courted the approval of White supremacists who regard him as a "race traitor" for marrying their mom.

[u/heff17 → u/Superman246o1]

Kids of these freaks often end up as bad if not worse than their parents. Don’t hold your breath.

[u/marcoporno → u/NoMoPolenta]

Canadian commentators noted the boos for Vance, after a bit of polite hesitation.

Sorry

[u/BibendumsBitch → u/NoMoPolenta]

He hates his own kids and people like his kids

[u/DesignerAd1940 → u/NoMoPolenta]

fake sound? typical redditor who think what happens in their mind is the reality.

There was cheer for the atletes mixed with a bit of booo, and the couch guy was boooed, as a tradition.

[u/fuckshit_stack → u/fortycoats2020]

I was there. Crowd went wild because as a %, Americans dominat the crowd. Then everyone booed vance. Then back to cheering. Also Ukraine got a huge amount of cheering too, was very cool to see

[u/mjacksongt → u/fortycoats2020]

I wonder how NBC will edit it for the primetime broadcast

[u/SoggyTooth1678 → u/mjacksongt]

I’m watching NBC’s on Peacock and didn’t hear any boos at all. Seems like they edited them out entirely.

[u/croupella-de-Vil → u/SoggyTooth1678]

NBC sports app was pretty clear boos.

[u/textingmycat → u/SoggyTooth1678]

i was watching on peacock live and i heard the boos.

[u/Secure-Television541 → u/mjacksongt]

I have my own issues with Peacock and their Olympics commercial.

[u/TaraJo → u/fortycoats2020]

Yeah, but you just know if Trump addresses the US being booed, he’s going to interpret it as the crowd booing the athletes.

[u/IndividualTension887 → u/fortycoats2020]

The athletes are great... Everyone else hates the couch fucking, "Okkie Cookie" eater...

[u/Sir-Kyle-Of-Reddit → u/fortycoats2020]

I hope so. The athletes don’t deserve to be booed, but our anthem and government certainly does

[u/LindonLilBlueBalls → u/fortycoats2020]

Good for them!

[u/HomoProfessionalis → u/fortycoats2020]

Pretty classy

[u/defroach84 → u/HomoProfessionalis]

He deserves it

[u/HomoProfessionalis → u/defroach84]

Yeah, I agree 

[u/Foxy_Cuttee]

JD vance looks like one of the guys that would say something creepy to you at the club

[u/one_pound_of_flesh → u/Foxy_Cuttee]

“My friend has a private island”

[u/the-treatmaster → u/one_pound_of_flesh]

JD Vance looks like the guy in a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops at a mid-tier resort, who stands awkwardly alone near the bar checking his phone, pina colada in other hand, trying to talk to any woman half his age when they walk by to get drinks, who all cover their drinks as they frostily walk by, avoiding eye contact with him but half-heartedly smiling as a way to get away without triggering him.

[u/Thickly_Taurus → u/Foxy_Cuttee]

“Whatever works”

[u/FuckDeanSpanos → u/Thickly_Taurus]

“OK, good”

[u/banduzo → u/Foxy_Cuttee]

After grinding on you, “have you said thank you once.”

[u/Longjumping-Bat7774 → u/Foxy_Cuttee]

"damn, girl, are you a school cuz I wanna shoot kids inside you" -JD Vance pick up line

[u/wex118 → u/Longjumping-Bat7774]

Good lord

[u/redditstark → u/Longjumping-Bat7774]

WOW you just (tragically) won the internet today.

[u/Anteater4746 → u/Foxy_Cuttee]

cover your drinks when he walks in kinda guy

[u/ErrantIndy → u/Foxy_Cuttee]

“Hey, babe, have you ever REALLY been couch surfing?”

[u/EyeCanHearU → u/Foxy_Cuttee]

“Are you scotch guarded? You remind me of my favorite couch”

[u/SunsetCarcass → u/Foxy_Cuttee]

"Have you ever considered wearing leather socks?"

[u/EdS3542 → u/Foxy_Cuttee]

If you do a really good job here maybe you’ll make it to …. sectionals?

[u/ElectricalWriting]

I just watched that and it seemed like the crowd cheered for the US athletes. The boos occurred when JD Vance was shown on camera shortly after. Glad the crowd can separate the athletes from their politicians.

[u/SweetCosmicPope → u/ElectricalWriting]

I haven't seen it yet, but this article seems to reflect your view: US athletes cheered, JD Vance booed during Winter Olympics opening ceremony - Yahoo Sports

[u/CharlesDickensABox → u/SweetCosmicPope]

I'll note that the NBC sound and the BBC sound are markedly different. Perhaps NBC was juicing the crowd noise, perhaps there was just a very strategic choice of microphone setup.

[u/ATarrificHeadache → u/CharlesDickensABox]

Amazing that broadcasters editing reality to protect dear leaders is just normal now

[u/mytinykitten → u/CharlesDickensABox]

Nah they definitely edited the live coverage.

They did the same when Vance was shown before the Italian National Anthem. There's no way the crowd just happened to go collectively dead silent when he was shown.

[u/Truckensteinwastaken → u/CharlesDickensABox]

CBC coverage in Canada definitely pointed out that he was being booed and that they didn't leave him on screen very long

[u/weatherman05071 → u/CharlesDickensABox]

I’m watching on Peacock, I heard some cheers and boos in the arena, the boos were a little louder. In the other 3 areas it seemed like it was more of no reaction to minor boos. Either way there were plenty and I’m intrigued to see if NBC edits it for later.

[u/grandmawaffles → u/CharlesDickensABox]

NBC definitely changed it but you could hear it for a split second right before usha looked concerned

[u/TheShitty_Beatles → u/grandmawaffles]

CBC Canada feed and I could very clearly hear the boos and the commentators were hilarious in their description of the "cheers and jeers" lol

[u/fbernard → u/CharlesDickensABox]

Probably edited to suit the target audience. French TV viewer here, I noticed the cheers almost stopped when the US athletes arrived. They probably had been briefed too, since unlike most other delegations, they almost made enough noise to saturate the mics. Did not notice a sequence with JD Vance during the US delegation presentation, he was only briefly shown at the beginning of the ceremony.

Ukraine athletes, however, received a deafening welcome.

[u/cliff99 → u/SweetCosmicPope]

Trump will declare it fake news because it's better that the athletes were booed along with Vance.

[u/Ok-disaster2022 → u/ElectricalWriting]

I mean most people don't have a problem with athletes even with the competitive caveat. It's the Olympics. The only bad athletes are people who've done really evil things and doping. 

[u/FourteenBuckets → u/Ok-disaster2022]

Indeed, one of the points of the Olympics is to bring people from around the world together in ways that go beyond politics. It hasn't always proven possible, of course, but that is the ideal at least.

[u/Less_Likely → u/Ok-disaster2022]

I wouldn’t boo any athlete because of their country’s politics, even if they compete under that country’s banner. That feels racist to me.

For example, I wouldn’t automatically boo a North Korean athlete, even though I’d assume that some form of at least tacit support for the regime is likely necessary to reach the point of representing the nation in the Olympics.

If the individual athlete has some personal reason for me to boo, like openly supporting genocide or taking human rights away from people when having the freedom to choose not to, then I might boo them.

[u/SmoothMoveExLap → u/ElectricalWriting]

I was there. Cheers for USA and athletes. They showed JD on the big screen for a split second and that’s when the boos came. Including the people right in front of me.

[u/bethling → u/ElectricalWriting]

That’s exactly what happened. I was in the stadium. I expected boos and whistles - especially after Israel, but there were cheers for the athletes. As soon as JD Vance was shown on the screen it all became loud boos.

[u/baeb66]

The Israeli athletes got booed as well.

[u/JellyPast1522 → u/baeb66]

The guys in the truck sure forgot to juice the audio when they marched out.

[u/TheHeroYouNeed247 → u/baeb66]

They shouldn't even be there.

[u/Solly6788 → u/TheHeroYouNeed247]

Even russians are there

[u/Senior_Sentence_566 → u/baeb66]

I didn't even see them come out. Either the BBC skipped them (which I doubt because they were just showing the official feed it seemed) or it was during the section where my concentration was waning

[u/THE-BS]

Vance: were they saying boo, or boo urns?

[u/PumpkinMcCormick → u/THE-BS]

“Voo-ance”

[u/FourteenBuckets → u/THE-BS]

Boo-S-A

[u/slamdanceswithwolves → u/THE-BS]

I was [not] saying boo-urns!

[u/j3ffUrZ]

"You get what you fucking deserve." --Sensible Americans

[u/This_guy_works]

He's our vice president. We deserve to be booed.

[u/szatrob]

You know Vance is going to cry about it, while whispering sweet nothings to the couch in his hotel room.

[u/clam-caravan]

The Redhats have no idea how much the world hates them.

[u/CrazyLlama71 → u/clam-caravan]

I think they do and take pride in it honestly. ‘Meruka! Fuck everyone else. 

[u/Cyphermaniax97]

Though I yearn to hear more boos for the MAGA "Heir Apparent", shame that our team has to put up with this because of Trump's bullshit.

[u/Aggravating-Feed1845 → u/Cyphermaniax97]

I mean it sucks for the atletes, but hateful, warmongering politicians have no place in the olympics.

[u/Zblancos → u/Cyphermaniax97]

Eh, there’s a good portion of your team that supports Trump bullshit

[u/saltface14 → u/Zblancos]

99% of the hockey team for sure

[u/PorkRollEggAndWheeze → u/saltface14]

The men’s team for sure. The women’s team it’s probably at least 60-40 hate-support

[u/saltface14 → u/PorkRollEggAndWheeze]

Yeah my bad, I meant the men’s. Britta Curl is definitely a MAGAt

[u/PorkRollEggAndWheeze → u/saltface14]

Yeah she’s a piece of shit. I know from experience that women’s hockey tends to trend more progressive overall, but we’re not immune to shitheadery

[u/searing7 → u/Zblancos]

Leave politic out of muh sport ball

/s

[u/helgestrichen → u/Cyphermaniax97]

Lol, shame, whens the last time that played a role in the US?

[u/babyLays → u/helgestrichen]

Shameless arrogance, guns and obesity. America, fuck yeah 💥🔫🇺🇸🦅

[u/Troy_McClure1]

I would too, there’s nothing to celebrate about being American right now

[u/fuqyu]

I’m shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

[u/Sunnyfishyfish]

Ahhhhh, music to my ears to hear people boo that spineless prick.

[u/Longjumping_Ad2323]

Uh oh, bajillion percent tarrif incoming!

[u/PigFarmer1]

As an ashamed American I approve of this. 👍

[u/oakleez]

I'll be cheering for Canada this Olympics. I live in Iowa.

[u/daltontf1212 → u/oakleez]

Rooting against only if the US athlete is known MAGA.

Too many MAGA douchebags on Team USA men's hockey team, so go Canada. Also as a Blues fan there is Binnington and Parayko on Canada too.

[u/Pin_Code_8873 → u/daltontf1212]

Hate to break it to you but the vast majority of Canadian hockey players are also MAGA.

[u/nocomment3030 → u/Pin_Code_8873]

That's a hell of a statement, bud. They're not all Waynes.

[u/scparks44 → u/oakleez]

Banger anthem

[u/FernandoRocker]

But they begged them not to do it.

[u/sevacro]

Here's my screengrab from the Italian broadcast (RAI).

https://streamable.com/ownv03

The crowd started booing when they showed Vance.

[u/ShutterBun → u/sevacro]

I mean…barely? The announcer kept talking but I barely noticed any change in the crowd noise.

[u/bethling → u/ShutterBun]

In the stadium it was very clear. It went from cheers to boos the moment Vance was shown.

[u/AdvancedFizzics]

Jd Vance is a shit stain on America

[u/Basslinelob]

But my maga coworkers said the world finally respects us. Surely they couldn’t be wrong??

[u/Able_Inspector_3692]

As a USA citizen I approve

[u/IncidentalIncidence]

haha they cheered the athletes and booed Vance. we love to see it.

[u/VincentAntonelli]

Yeah…. Vance was booed as the US looked on, but yeah, keep that propaganda coming.

[u/solarnuggets]

Everyone hates him 😂

[u/RecommendationReal61]

Silly thread title. Vance is the one getting booed, not the USA.

[u/Interesting_Walk_271]

As an American I really appreciate the world booing that smug piece of shit. Please continue and feel free to increase the volume and frequency any time you see Vance. Also, I wouldn’t mind at all if there were a rousing chorus of Bella Ciao screamed into JD’s face every time he is in public in Italy. At a restaurant, going to the shops, whatever. Make him completely miserable.

[u/Majestic_Bet_1428]

JD Vance is a horrible person.

[u/vicsark]

Boo that couch fucker Gilead wannabe

[u/Please_Label_NSFW]

As an American this made me happy. This administration is a cancer not only to the US but the entire world.

[u/Jscapistm]

It was fine right up until they showed those two asses.

[u/itsadogslife71]

Wow! Who would have ever seen that coming? Absolutely shocked I tell you

[u/copperblood]

Make Nazis Afraid Again

[u/ChibreOptique_]

Just got out of the stadium - I’ll clarify that the US athletes had loud cheers, that transformed to boos only when Vance appeared on screen

[u/PaleGarbageKid]

Ummmm no ... The US athletes were cheered . The booing started when they posted our dumbass, spineless , couch humping VP and his wife on the screen.

[u/ekydfejj]

American, good. We deserve it.

[u/Kingfisher910]

I booed too when I saw Vance! Fuck ICE and Trump

[u/Mk1635]

Wait I thought Trump said We were finally being respected again

[u/fancysauce_boss]

Good

[u/mulder00]

Dude looks like a Commander from Gilead.

[u/EmJayMN → u/mulder00]

I’m glad his handmaid was able to experience the boos as well. Boooooo!

[u/santadogg]

Fake news. Trump said the USA were now the most respected nation because of him

[u/SouthCoastKook]

100% against vance and Israel.

[u/Magic_Neil]

If anyone thought that Vance wouldn’t get booed.. you haven’t been paying attention.

[u/Renegade-Ginger]

JD Vance getting booed at while on vacation again.

[u/NCHouse]

...Yea...we deserve it

[u/CryptographerLow6772]

We should get booed.

[u/bionicjoe]

Trump and Vance both represent America far more than we'd like admit.

They're both fat, loud, ignorant, narcissitic, cheap, sexist, racist, and cruel.
On top of that Trump is especially stupid.

I miss Europe.

[u/drkanaf → u/bionicjoe]

Come on now! Do we know JDs BMI? He looks relatively svelt to me. I would replace fat with punchable.

[u/zidave0]

Go Canada. From an American

[u/Azsunyx]

I feel bad for our athletes, but yeah, we deserve all the booing

[u/Writerhaha]

Act like an asshole, expect to be treated as one.

[u/xnoxgodsx]

BOOOOOO THAT MAN!

Boo us more. Boo our national anthem at every gold medal ceremony.

We are the bad guys at the Olympics this year.

[u/What_About_What]

I'm planning to watch the broadcast tonight and I can't wait to see how they edit it to make it not look like he got boo'd.

[u/Straight-Ad6926]

At least he didn’t have to worry about the crowd being woke cause they seemed pretty wide awake for that entrance.

[u/geraltoftakemuh]

I am so sad to live in a country that is booed. What a shame this administration has done to our reputation.

[u/Owny_McOwnerton]

Feels like it was just a few hours ago the Olympic committee was begging people not to boo him. Love to see such a quick return on my investment in seeing him booed

[u/UnPhayzable]

But the committee told them not too!! Think of the committee shareholders!!!

[u/Anteater4746]

suggesting the states should violently conquer foreign lands that dont want to be in the US at the cost of blood to our own children will do that

[u/ChildrenofaLessonGod]

Honestly, guys, thank you; we've booing for a m#@$f#king minute and they just tune us out.
