No, it won't. Also, not sure semi death wishes are acceptable here (despite that having been accepted on the forum before).

 

I do agree with him being allowed to participate by the way, but definitely won't be cheering for him. And just to be clear: that very obviously does not equal accepting what he did as remotely OK.

What death threat? I have racked my brain trying to see what you are talking about, and can only conclude you have never heard of the idiom "#1 with a bullet" which is nothng, nothing to do with guns. Please retract that ridiculous and offensive accusation now, please.

The British gymnastics team and not because I dislike any of them on an individual level. But can’t stand the BBC commentary when it comes to covering it. And yes I can and do watch on other channels but still the thought of Matt Baker and co drooling over their own while actively cheering against the competition makes me want any result that will keep them in their box

I’ll give it a go, but I’d rather talk about the athletes I would be supporting instead.

 

 The entite swimming team.

 - Lilly King + Ryan Murphy - Sending out accusations of other athletes doping is not OK in my book.

Any of the shouty badminton players

 - Sha Carri Richardson

 - Jakob Ingebritzen

Any Naturalised Athletes

 - Simone Biles

Anyone whose fans do the really annoying shrill whistle

Despite Dutch cringe in beach volleyball, obvious picks and russians/belarussian, I really don't have someone to root against.

 

It's happening because Lithuania did not qualify in women's 3x3 and awful person Kamile Nacickate is missing the OG.

I agree.

 

If there’s some biassed, arrogant & racist commentators, most of them are from the US/Gb broadcasts.

The only athletes I'll really be rooting against are the ones that have known or highly suspected violent, sexual or domestic crimes or doping violations.
