You have to see it to appreciate it...I’m older than dirt and I have enjoyed the snowboarding...tradition aside.

Wrong, it is some of the politically correct Leftard athletes who had to make hostile political statements, such as "Eat Your Heart Out Pence" on their Instagram (see below).

I'm sure it's only a small % who are being "political" like this, but no one dares object to the "politicization" of the games or else they will be fried in the media. btw, supposedly the IOC rejects any "political" acts or statements by participants and can "admonish" them (don't know what it would take to ban someone), but do you think they will take any action against the Gay Mafia??? Or the black athlete who made a big stink about losing a coin toss to carry the flag in the Opening Ceremony (turned a random event into a "racial" issue and cited Black History Month in his support?).... of course, the Leftards are always allowed to do crap that would be seen as highly objectionable if "conservative" athletes were to try to hijack the games for their causes. "Olympic GAYmes"..... really??? Why do we need this crap? I'm done with it.

Exactly. I’m sure they’ve dealt with disappointment all throughout their careers, but on an Olympic stage with millions upon millions of people watching, it’s got to be hard.
