“It’s a PRIVILEGE to represent your country”.

“I’m incredibly lucky I am even able to compete at this level. I don’t take it for granted.”

Lindsey Vonn was injured after affirming her love for the United States.

Keep in mind, the “I love my country” bar was really low after a wave of liberal-bubble trust fund kids popped off about how bad America sucks between overpriced lattes and Instagram activism during their pressers.

Vonn’s enthusiasm before the race — especially about competing for her country — drew admiration, standing in contrast to the broader online rage over patriotism, stirred in part by teammate Mikaela Shiffrin’s reflections on Nelson Mandela and the rule of law. Supporters and event organizers chimed in with messages like “Finally, someone proud to wear the flag without an asterisk.”
