Agree...so boring and irrelevant. Took me a while to figure out what OAR meant.

At the halfway point of the XXIII Winter Olympics, things are certainly feeling a little chilly for both Team USA and NBC.

Chilly? I heard things were nipply for France.

By far the best moment of the Games was the finish in the 15km mass start Biathlon.

Other than that......Meh!

One of the most embarrassing Olympic performances by an American Olympic team ever. Maybe, just maybe, they should focus on their sport rather than preening for the cameras and attention seeking.

Haven’t watched a Millisecond.

As soon as I heard a Liberal Political comment before the Games started, I was done.

That and being on NBC... Naturally Broadcasting Communism.

The Olympics are no longer pure sports.
Any ‘sport’ that requires a ‘judge’ is not a sport, it is ‘entertainment’ and thus has no place at the Olympics.
Makes it hard to watch when every time you try to watch all you get is some weird skating BS that goes on forever...pass.

I was watching the figure skating and the stupid color commentators were just destroying the moment with their inane chatter. I muted it and put on my own music and it was a whole lot better. OTT I only watched the skiers in the half-pipe and downhill.

If I recall correctly, NBC has bought the rights to Olympics up through 2032. So seems.doubtful they would move the broadcast to a niche network or otherwise abandon all the prime time programming they will plan to broadcast.

Then you have the Today Show cast all there wearing their ski hats trying to gin up excitement about these games.

Do the ratings on I phones register somewhere? While viewing on the NBC TV network may be down, are significant numbers watching elsewhere?

PS: We only have OTA so no spying on what we’re watching by any cable/dish network.

Back in the day, we only had to avoid new and news commentary shows on TV / Cable and perhaps certain movies by Al Gore and Michael Moore.

Now it has spread like stage 4 lung cancer. We have to avoid:

1. NFL football.
2. Much of the NBA.
3. Most sitcoms.
4. Award shows.
5. Olyimpics.

Polarization has accelerated, but as long as we have free elections, we have control.

Watch out.

The Un Olympics have not been on for a second in my house. Snarky leftists can kiss my ass.

The last Olympics I was even half way interested in was in 1984.

I watch the hockey games. Those are fun.

The Olympics have become creepy and weird. Can’t think of any reason to be terribly interested in them.

There are too many figure skating events, for one thing.

It seems like half the events are “free style” something or other. I watched the snowboarding, even though I like the board racing much better. I ignored the freestyle skiing. If they have freestyle bobsledding (not counting the Germans crashing their sled at the finish) I’ll watch it. But enough flipping and judging.
