Roy Chang：美国男篮在2024年巴黎奥运会上取得了压倒性胜利，但仅以11分优势战胜法国队，这一结果令人尴尬。他认为，美国队应该以更大的优势获胜，并且球员的表现令人失望。他还批评了Noah Lyles在感染COVID-19的情况下仍然参赛，认为这是一种不负责任的行为，并对澳大利亚B-girl Raegun在奥运会上的糟糕表现表示强烈不满。他认为Raegun的表现是奥运会、澳大利亚和舞蹈界的耻辱。 Michael Kosta：美国男篮在比赛中表现出色，即使对手较弱也展现了娱乐性。他认为，Noah Lyles在感染COVID-19的情况下仍然参赛并获得奖牌是一项了不起的成就，尽管这为人们逃避工作提供了借口。他还对Raegun在奥运会上的表现进行了调侃，认为她充满自信的表现可以被看作是“Ronnie Chang综合征”。
