Do Democrats even like America anymore? It’s getting harder to tell. The left has become so allergic to patriotism that even the most innocent expressions of national pride now trigger panic.
Their hatred for Trump has twisted their thinking into something almost stupid. They seem to traumatized, they can’t admit that America is a good country. They’re so terrified of offending anyone that they’ve abandoned basic pride in our country. What kind of mindset makes someone apologize for loving America?
During a WNBA game, a reporter used a phrase that made her co-host go silent. The forbidden words? “That’s what makes America great.” You read that right. A simple comment about America’s greatness led to an awkward on-air moment.
The incident happened Sunday during ESPN’s broadcast of the Indiana Fever vs. Las Vegas Aces game. ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo was discussing a foul call she disagreed with when the moment occurred.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
During ESPN’s broadcast of the Indiana Fever vs. Las Vegas Aces WNBA game on Sunday, analyst Rebecca Lobo apologized for commenting that disagreement is what “makes America great,” apparently withdrawing her comment because it sounds too close to President Donald Trump’s well-known slogan.
After saying those words, an uncomfortable silence filled the broadcast. Lobo quickly backtracked, saying, “I should rephrase that,” to which Ward replied, “Yes.” Ward then suggested Lobo use “difference of opinion” instead. Lobo even added, “Sorry about that,” before they continued calling the game.
The Liberal Media’s Patriotism Problem
This weird moment shows how scared some people in the media have become of saying anything that might sound patriotic. Why? Because the phrase “makes America great” sounds a bit like “Make America Great Again” – President Trump’s famous slogan.
This isn’t just about one ESPN host. It’s about how political correctness has gone crazy in our media. These TV hosts are so worried about offending the woke mob that they can’t even mention America’s greatness during a basketball game.
Clay Travis, a sports commentator, posted the clip on social media where it quickly went viral with over 18,000 likes. He called it the “Most WNBA media move possible.” Many Americans were shocked to see someone apologize for such an innocent comment.
When Loving America Became Controversial
The left has become almost stupid in their rush to distance themselves from anything Trump-related. They’re so terrified of offending anyone that they’ve become allergic to patriotism itself.
The phrase “Make America Great Again” has been twisted into something bad, when really, who doesn’t want America to be great? This reporter was so scared of upsetting liberals she felt she had to apologize for saying America is great. Let that sink in.
The game, by the way, featured star rookie Caitlin Clark, who struggled shooting from the 3-point line, going just 1-for-10. But the real airball came from ESPN’s broadcast booth when basic patriotism became something to apologize for.
Standing Proud for American Values
Real Americans don’t apologize for loving their country. It shouldn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican – saying America is great should be something we all agree on.
What’s next? Will broadcasters have to apologize for standing during the national anthem? Will wearing red, white, and blue become problematic too?
The good news is most Americans still love this country and aren’t afraid to say it. We don’t need to use different words or apologize for our patriotism.
This silly incident should remind us all that we shouldn’t let the fear of offending someone stop us from expressing love for America. Our country isn’t perfect, but it’s still the greatest nation on Earth – and that’s nothing to apologize for.
Next time you hear someone say “America is great,” don’t wait for the apology. Just nod and smile. Because it is great, and we should never be sorry for saying so.
