So easy to cheer against Sydney and Mu, I only cheer for athletes who want to compete.

Also an American that likes to cheer for Bol. But due to my grandfather having 100% Dutch heritage, I have a different reason to cheer for Bol
American not First for you. We see you.

Nothing wrong with rooting for the underdog.
What does Femke Bol know about God the almighty?
Has she allowed Him into her life?
It’s crazy that people who don’t want to compete can still win Olympic Gold Medals.
Nah. Mu rocks bro.
I think Bol and Mu are really easy to root for as they are more outgoing and Syd is more reserved and of course never races.
So is Sydney - she’s predominantly racially white. Probably has some big, bad, mean high IQ blue eyed ancestors you can hate over too. But, then you’d be hating her..ooopss..
Mu raced at World Champs and still went toe-to-toe with all the medalists.
She competed, and competed against the best.
Sydney…. Well, I have no argument there lol
Why would I hate someone with blue eyes and high IQ? That is someone I can particularly relate to, unlike you.
Thanks for sharing. Do you have any thoughts that haven’t been posted here dozens of times?

I am quite brown, and assure you that I too will be rooting for Bol. Sydney is an exceptional talent, but rarely races and only seems to come alive when she is away from the track. She's all business, which I respect but also find a lot less fun.
Bol is out here racing indoors and outdoors, competing in the mixed and women's relays, and has consistently been the bridesmaid not the bride while losing to Sydney. I'd rather root for the underdog in this event in Paris.
People cheer for Santa Claus over those two, at least he shows up once a year 🎅

If Bol can manage to run a WR time in the 400h before the Olympics it would really mess with the BS NBC Syd hype machine already churning in it's pre Paris ads.
...That would be a delightful development and put a high degree of pressure on Syd that might finally get to her. Right now she lives among a bunch of yes-men/women around her that allows her delusion that competing isn't necessary for her.
I hope that happens....but I'm still rooting for Bol because she's a true delight to watch. Contagious actually.
And Kersee is a douchebag
I’ll always root for Americans, yet Sydney makes it hard to be a fan of hers by the way she approaches racing and seems not to have any enjoyment with being a pro athlete. Femke has a wonderful attitude and seems to be enjoying herself and having fun. What good is going through life if you’re given this incredible talent by God and can’t have fun and find joy in it?

You people who think gawd dispenses talent like party favors to some while apparently being ok with gawd dispensing abject misery to others are just childish and frankly scary. You should be in a 24/7 clinic receiving appropriate mental health care, not actually walking around free among sane people. F*ck

Thats a completely racist comment.
FYI- Sydney is half White and I’m black in the US and would rather Femke win over Sydney any day. Sydney has done nothing to help the sport and that’s why she keeps losing fans
