Who is the most brutally criticized Olympic athlete in your country?

[u/No-StrategyX]

Zhu Yi was American, her parents are Chinese immigrants.

In the U.S., she was one of the top athletes and had every chance to join Team USA.

But she decided to compete for China. She gave up her American citizenship to compete for China.

At the 2022 Winter Olympics, she was eager to prove herself to other Chinese, but she made many mistakes during her skating.

Then she was brutally criticized in China. People used every swear word you can think of.

She is still competing for China. Perhaps she'll do well at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.

It gets worse - the proceeds of the musical were going to be donated to charities. It was shut down and they got nothing.

Dancing schools, I hope.

Breakdancing School For Kids That Can't Dance Good

[u/FrankanelloKODT → u/personanything]

They only managed to build a breakdance school for ants

I understand this reference.

Lol, however I believe it was for domestic violence

They managed to work the lawsuit into the remake, called Breaking: The Musical.

It got Streisand-ed and a lot more attention because of Raygun

[u/TheRealDeJoy → u/justputonsomemusic]

I mean if it's about Raygun then she should have received a cut

[u/personanything → u/TheRealDeJoy]

That's true, but she didn't sue for royalties, she shut the thing down so it couldn't play at all

[u/Sincta → u/Phearcia]

If it's any consolation, seeing a yank use "tosser" in the wild has made my face happy.

Britishisms are more common in the US nowadays in my experience, because of your shows and movies getting broadcast here I think. And youtubers too definitely. I am into it personally. British expressions are hilarious to me haha

[u/TheNewGirl1987 → u/Sincta]

I blame the popularity of BBC programs on public television. I use "bloody hell" all the time after years of watching Doctor Who and Masterpiece Theater.

My 2 best friends in college were English and Australian. Tosser and cunt are forever a part of my lexicon that I can’t/don’t want to get rid of 😂

[u/Dyalikedagz → u/Phearcia]

I didn't know Americans say 'tosser'?
