If you’re a sports commentator in the U.S., you are an idiot if you root against anyone competing for the home team in the Olympics, says Star Jones.
A commentator for ESPN felt the former The View co-host’s wrath after publicly rooting against swimmer Michael Phelps.
I'm sorry. It's the #Olympics. If you're an #American sports commentator…put on the damn REDwhite&Blue and support OUR #teamUSA.

Star added to her rant after not everyone agreed with her name-calling.

I'm rooting for a lot of #Olympic athletes from various countries…but I'm NOT rooting AGAINST any #Americans. Who does that? #HATERATION
