Ever since the NFL anthem kneeling, we have quit watching anything that bashes America or Trump. We started watching horse racing and have really gotten into it. We are horse people anyway, but had not paid much attention to racing.
Well, even before the Opening Ceremony we had someone boycott because he should have been able to carry the flag... then we had the skater who refused to meet with Mike Pence, the skier who already announced she would not go to the White House if she won gold... and just like that, we decided we don’t want or need anymore snowflake drama in our lives. And it doesn’t hurt that we can’t stand NBC...in that regard we’re happy not to give them any ratings support.
All of present-day media is an assault on your senses... in one way or another you will be slammed with some kind of offensive and trashy crap on an hourly basis... listening to the radio, reading a publication, watching films or tv, etc... even the advertising (especially the advertising) is part of the full court press to destroy you and debase your soul.
Unless you are completely uncouth, low IQ, emotionally deformed, or pathologically and irreversibly degraded, their trash will sully your soul forever.
It’s more lurid, immature and immeasurably base all the time. Above all- keep it away from your children!
As long as I live I will be a reader... there is plenty in classical literature, history, etc. to keep me occupied until I die. I think I’ll leave with my soul a little more in tact than it would have been.
The only way to watch is to DVR and fast forward commercials or watch online.
The left politicizes everything. Award shows are unwatchable now.
Actually, using the NBC Sports app on Apple TV, you can watch whatever sport you like in its entirety whenever you want and don’t have to put up with the human interest garbage and frequent sport-switching on the network broadcast. It’s a big improvement - if you like watching other countries win medals. :)
I was into the Team Ski Jumping competition rooting for Poland, they got the Bronze.
I'm much more jingoistic for the US in the Summer Games, than the Winter Games.
As soon as Johnny Weird appears on the screen, my wife changes channels. I don’t watch it anyway. Don’t need to see a sodomite prancing around acting like a total ass, and to have him on the screen with children possibly watching is an absolute outrage.
You have that very beautiful Tara Lupinsky standing next to that raging faggot, and my stomach turns. What in the hell is NBC thinking?
1. too many US participants, all left wing commies, standing in front of cameras saying they hate half the country
2. US Olympic Committee is more obsessed with having fewer whites on the team just because they hate whitey, even if it means poorer results
3. Too many US participants focused on telling us all about their various sexual deviances
4. There are vast numbers of events where the US has either no or token participation - all of the biathlon and cross country events come to mind.
5. What few metal contenders we have, appear to think they just need to show up to get their metal. Either that, or they really were not that good to begin with and NBC just over hyped them.
Tried to watch some luge, snowboarding, and the Super G ski event. It became clear that this was more about the SJW agenda. I could care less what the sexuality is of a downhill skier, or Lindsay Vonn’s backstory.
I hope NBC’s ratings take a big hit. Maybe the US Olympic committee will learn a lesson going into the 2020 Summer games, but I doubt it.
Immensely bad business decision on their part.
Don’t care who can slide down the hill the fastest.
Don’t care who can skate in circles with the fewest butt-plants.
Don’t care about homos, trannies, or any other “historic” participant.
Don’t want to listen to leftist drivel recast as sports commentary.
Not watching the Olympics.
......And I’m going to projectile vomit if I have to watch one more ad for “Mama Mia 2”, starring that vile sanctmonious hag, Meryl Streep.
Mr RooRoo refers to the “Oprah-cizing” of the Olympics. There are too many “profiles in redemption” and endless nonsense bantering instead of straightforward coverage of the events.
When Lindsey Vonn, one of the biggest names at the games, makes it political by insulting the President of the United States, I lose interest in watching. When a spoiled brat publicly pouts over not getting to carry our flag, which he thinks he’s entitled to do because he’s “diverse”, I lose interest in watching. When a pervert shares a gay kiss as part of the broadcast, I lose interest in watching.
So far, I have watched none of this year’s Olympics, not live, not steaming, not in any manner. I’m comfortable with that. When they make it about athletics, perhaps I’ll return.
It's true but - I just wanted you to know that here in very rural and wayback-in-time northern Michigan the radio is like what I remember growing up with. They play the national anthem at roughly the same time each morning, give or take ten minutes. Conversation is slow=paced and easy going, and usually just local stuff. A dinner being provided for veterans or a local pastor talking about something about the church he leads.
Just wanted you to know there are still some places where life is good.
Lucky YOU!! :)
But you know, American culture IS invasive... you do have to be selective and constantly watchful. Otherwise, it will find you
