I didn't mean parent countries were forcing their athletes, I meant Brazil, as the host, are not living up to reasonable expectations on hosts of an international sporting event. You say it as if all athletes were given due notice, and agreed that they would take racist, partisan abuse. The crowds are uniquely, surprisingly bad. The answer to this isn't "you're welcome to leave", that does not deflect blame from the way Brazilians have been behaving. And just saying "it is what it is" downplays just how far below basic standards of decency such booing is.
