Star Jones slams 'idiot' ESPN commentator for rooting against Michael Phelps

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.

@StarJonesEsq the last time i checked people can root for whomever they want to…american or not!!!

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