As an athlete, competing in the Olympics lets you showcase your country to everyone around the world. But Team USA has been criticized for their recent behavior.
Supporters from North America have traveled a great distance to Milan to cheer for their athletes, and the players should recognize their dedication.
Team Canada showed appreciation for their fans, but Team USA did not.
Pointing out Team USA’s failure to recognize their fans at the Olympics
A new video that’s catching a lot of attention online shows Team Canada and Team USA leaving the ice while fans reach out to them. Every athlete from Canada acknowledged the fans, but only a handful from Team USA did the same.
From Team USA, only Zach Werenski and Jeremy Swayman interacted with the fans. Auston Matthews merely tapped one Maple Leafs fan’s hand.
Fans have realized this highlights how differently the two teams think about humility and their supporters. Canada understands how special this moment is for the fans who came to cheer them on and for those cheering from home.
Team France admired Team Canada’s humility and graciousness, even after suffering a tough loss. This video emphasizes how Canadian players are upholding our values and earning a good reputation for sportsmanship.
Canadian supporters were excited to see their team’s respect for the fans and were surprised by Team USA’s different reaction.
It’s wonderful to see our players represent our nation well on such a big platform. You can’t teach this level of dedication, humility, and kindness, but demonstrating these traits is a tradition for Team Canada.
