Rooting Against Anti-American Olympians Is The Patriotic Thing To Do

Nothing confuses a sports fan's heart like finding out his favorite TV character supports the other team. Or worse — when it turns that out a lecturing, woke celebrity is on the same side.
For the big game in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday, two big names have already been tapped for the start of the event.
'I have officially declared Super Bowl Sunday as "New England Patriots Appreciation Day."'
Singer Jon Bon Jovi was called on to introduce the New England Patriots before the game. He has supported the team since his favorite coaches went from the New York Giants to New England in the 1990s, according to Yahoo. Meanwhile, actor Chris Pratt ("Guardians of the Galaxy," "Jurassic World") will introduce the Seattle Seahawks. Pratt grew up a Seahawks fan after moving to Seattle around the age of 6.
Here is where the rest of the singers, actors, and politicians stand so that fans know exactly who to embrace and who to disavow.
New England Patriots
It should come as no surprise that Boston natives Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are huge Patriots fans, but Mark Wahlberg is too. "Marky" Mark has not only voiced his support for the team but appeared in an episode of HBO's "Entourage" alongside legendary quarterback Tom Brady in 2009.
Celebrity reporter Maria Menounos is well known for wearing Patriots outfits over the years and has even appeared in photos with the team's ownership group.
Noted superhero actor Chris Evans reportedly loves the Patriots, while Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler and iconic English musician Elton John round off the celebrity list, per CBS Sports.

On the politics side, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey (D) is cheering for the Pats, obviously, but so is Maine Governor Janet Mills (D).
"I have officially declared Super Bowl Sunday as 'New England Patriots Appreciation Day' throughout the State of Maine. Go Pats!" Mills wrote on X.
Democrat Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee has shown plenty of support for the Patriots over the years, while White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, from New Hampshire, recently declared her support for the Patriots too.
Seattle Seahawks
According to Yahoo! Sports, actors Rainn Wilson ("The Office") and Will Ferrell ("Old School," "Anchorman") are big Seahawks fans. Wilson was born in Seattle, while Ferrell has dropped in on Seahawks team meetings.
On the musical side, "Baby Got Back" rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot is an avid Seahawks fan, while rapper Macklemore could also be considered a die-hard.
USA Today listed singer Ariana Grande as a fan, too; she sang the national anthem in Seattle in 2014.
All-time "Jeopardy!" champion turned host Ken Jennings also flies a Seahawks flag, claiming that being a fan of the team "made me a better person."
"Walking Dead" fan favorite Jeffrey Dean Morgan has shown that his true colors include fluorescent green, vehemently supporting the team over the years. Morgan was born in Seattle.

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson (D) is a shoe-in for Seahawks support, but few may expect that some Virginia politicians are sneaking around supporting the Seahawks at the same time.
State senator and former NFL player Aaron Rouse and Virginia Speaker of the House Don Scott, both Democrats, admitted to rooting for the Seahawks on Sunday.
Local reporter Tyler Englander seemingly caught the politicians by surprise on Friday morning and acquired both their predictions.
Interestingly enough, Rouse never played for the Seahawks. He was born in Norfolk, Virginia, played college ball at Virginia Tech, and was a pro player for the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants.
For those wondering who President Trump has sided with, he recently told reporters, "I can't say that. But they are really two good teams."

'It's not fair': No. 1 women's tennis player states obvious truth about transgender athletes in women's sports
The top women's tennis player in the world was recently confronted with the idea that she might have a biological advantage over other women.
Aryna Sabalenka, the world's No. 1-ranked player in the Women's Tennis Association, is preparing for a "Battle of the Sexes" against Nick Kyrgios, who reached as high as No. 13 in the men's rankings in 2016.
To promote the event, the two appeared on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" where they were asked if they think it is fair when men, or transgender athletes, compete in women's sports.
'I feel like they still got a huge advantage over the women.'
Morgan prefaced his question by citing Martina Navratilova, a former tennis star who has been adamant about keeping men out of women's competitions.
"[Navratilova] says it's wrong for the Women's Tennis Association to allow trans women to compete in its events; do you agree with her?" Morgan asked.
"That's a tricky question," Sabalenka initially replied.
The Belarusian then stated the obvious biological reality.
"I have nothing to do against them. But I feel like they still got huge advantage over the woman, and I think it's just not fair to a woman to basically face, like, biologically man," she said.
The 27-year-old continued, "You know, it's not fair, like, the woman been working the whole life to reach her limit and then she has to face, like, a man, like, which biologically much stronger. So for me, I don't agree with this kind of stuff in sport."
Morgan then posed the question to Kyrgios, who quickly explained that he had "nothing to add" because he feels "the exact same way."
Sabalenka was not out of the woods yet because Morgan then brought up criticisms the athlete has faced from her competitors.
The British host referred to Marta Kostyuk, the No. 26-ranked women's tennis player. In October, the Ukrainian complained that Sabalenka is "bigger," "taller," and "stronger" than she is and that Sabalenka and another Polish player have biological advantages due to their testosterone levels.
"We all have our own biological structure. Some have a higher level of testosterone, some have lower. I know players who are good players who have higher levels of it," Kostyuk claimed, per Firstpost.
While Kostyuk said she's sure that her opponents aren't on drugs, the 23-year-old said it's "just the biology" of their bodies and that "definitely helps."
"I'm trying to see how I can beat these players with the tennis skills I have, but I have to work more than they have to win the points," she added.
Sabalenka laughed off these comments, telling Morgan that Kostyuk was just making "excuses."
"It's actually quite funny because she's a strong girl," she said. "She probably has more muscles than I do, and she looks fit and strong, and I think that's not the case in all of the matches she lost against our players."

In Britain, the governing Lawn Tennis Association essentially barred "transgender women" from playing in top women's tournaments in December 2024.
After conducting a formal review, the organization determined that the "average man" has an advantage when playing against the "average woman."
The new rules restrict "transgender women and nonbinary individuals assigned male at birth" from playing in top-tier and competitive women's tournaments.

Canadian hockey player Claude Giroux is only in his third season with the Ottawa Senators, but he has already been the victim of two auto thefts.
The 37-year-old former NHL All-Star rarely posts on social media, however, his wife, Ryanne, likes to keep fans updated when they are victims of crimes ... which happens all too often.
For the second time in the 2024-2025 season, Mrs. Giroux said the hockey player had his car stolen.
"Good morning to everyone except the people who stole our loaner car ... lol," Ryanne said on X just after 10 a.m. on Thursday.
According to CTV News, the car was a loaner, but the theft happened in the driveway of the Giroux family home.

Canada's capital indeed has an auto theft problem, and the Giroux family knows about it firsthand.
In September, the hockey wife noted online that her family had been unable to get help from police despite their car being stolen and tracked as it drove. The car was later identified as a Land Rover.
"Good morning Ottawa! [Claude Giroux's] car was stolen last night and is currently actively driving ... unable to get ahold of Ottawa Police until 10am," she wrote at 8:19 a.m.
She added, "Looking for other suggestions/to hear from other people in Ontario who have sadly had to deal with this recently."
About 30 minutes after her post, Ottawa Police replied online and said they were "sorry to hear" about the crime and suggested calling 911 to report any crime in progress.
"We understand an officer has been dispatched," they added.
A local radio station, for some reason, also wrote, "We're being told with any crime in progress, call 911."
— (@)
Giroux was on a three-game road trip with the Senators at the time of the crime and is once again an example of a professional athlete who was targeted while away playing a game.
Four illegal immigrants in Ohio were recently arrested after a robbery at NFL quarterback Joe Burrow's house, while robberies of Kansas City Chiefs players Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes and NHL player Evgeni Malkin have also occurred.
Ottawa's car thefts totaled 1,705 in 2024, with 951 vehicles reportedly recovered. There have already been 103 vehicle thefts in Ottawa from Jan. 1-23 in 2025.
