1. Not sure.
But the way the men's basketball team is playing, they may get booed by the American fans there to watch them.

:(

2. I don't think so
As usual reports about the European "Anti-Americanism" were greatly exaggerated.

I believe the German biker was booed, but with excellent reasons (no, she did not mean the crowd, but the coach):

5. There was lots of whistling at the B-ball game

Haven't heard it in any of the other events, but that might be because there are hardly any spectators.

6. I hope not
they don't deserve to be booed for what that dickhead in the WH has done.
