Restaurant Tells HuffPost To ‘Go F*ck Yourself’ After Outlet Cries About Team USA
Jimmy’s Famous Seafood didn’t like the crabby article that HuffPost published over the weekend in the midst of Team USA’s winning streak.
After the U.S. men’s hockey team won gold Sunday, the Baltimore-based restaurant told HuffPost to “go f*ck yourself” in response to a piece the outlet published, titled “There’s A Name For The Discomfort You’re Feeling Watching The Olympics Right Now.”
The family-owned business sent the message to HuffPost on X, and it already has more than 11 million views.
The HuffPost piece detailed how people who hate their country are having to deal with Team USA winning at the Winter Olympics. HuffPost offered great advice to those who can’t stand seeing Team USA on top, like “don’t forget to breathe.” Groundbreaking.
Jimmy’s Famous Seafood is an all-American joint that has been a Maryland landmark since the 1970s, and clearly doesn’t have an issue with celebrating the athletic achievements of Americans. Like the Minadakis family, who started Jimmy’s Famous Seafood and turned it into a nationwide staple, the Olympians accomplished their own American dream and should not have to worry about being tolerated instead of celebrated.
With lines like this in the HuffPost story — “If waving the American flag or chanting, ‘USA!’ makes us feel grossed out or ashamed, we can cheer for individual athletes” — it’s easy to see how the Team USA-supporting seafood restaurant got ticked off.
