As an athlete, being part of the Olympics means you get to show off your country to the world. However, Team USA is facing some backlash for how they acted recently.
Fans from North America have traveled a long way to Milan to support their athletes, and the players should appreciate this effort.
Team Canada acknowledged their fans, but Team USA did not.

A new video that is getting a lot of attention online shows Team Canada and Team USA leaving the ice while fans reach out to them. Every player from Canada acknowledged the fans, but only a few from America did the same.
On Team USA, just Zach Werenski and Jeremy Swayman reached out to greet the fans. Auston Matthews only tapped one Maple Leafs fan’s hand.
Fans have noticed that this shows how differently the two teams view humility and their fans. Canada realizes how important this moment is for the fans who came to watch and those who are supporting them back home.
Team France praised Team Canada’s humility and kindness, even after a big loss. This video highlights how Canadian players are living up to our values and our good reputation for fair play.
Canadian fans were thrilled to see this respect from their team and were surprised to notice how Team USA responded differently.
It’s amazing to watch our players represent our country properly on the global stage. You can’t teach this level of commitment, modesty, and generosity, but showing these qualities is a tradition for Team Canada.
