Outkick founder and radio host Clay Travis feels the mainstream media contributed to the lack of American spirit that he said is plaguing the Tokyo Olympics. "I think that an attack of America, an attack on American exceptionalism by the media, which is real, has certainly undercut a lot of Americans' joy and excitement in celebrating America," Travis told Fox News. Travis pointed to "individual athletes who have undercut the idea of American exceptionalism" and are rewarded with fawning coverage by ESPN and the media.
