How America Can Make a Medal Comeback in Pyeongchang

Wasn’t the finals but the qualifying runs. Top 12 go to finals. That said I’m over the “gay” Olympics and done watching.

Did you know that Norway is the all-time leader in Winter Olympic medals? This isn’t anything new.

I just watched one of the US Bobsled teams consisting of some black guy with a Muzzie sounding name look like total crap, and they are currently 24th after two runs. Pathetic.

Diversity is our strength!!!!!

[RooRoobird20]

I know it’s nothing new. It still bugs me.

In total all time Olympic medals (combined summer and winter games) the US has 2804 medals according to wiki. Second place with less than half that total is the former Soviet Union with 1204. With other versions of Russia added you get a total of 1884. Germany Britain and France round out the top five.

We lost Steve Holcomb, the bobsled team isn’t the same without him.

[dfwgator]

So you want us to be like the Communist countries and invest millions of taxpayer dollars in having an Olympic team that dominates the Medal Count?

[Freee-dame]

I would like to see an additional column on the scoreboard showing the flags of the country where each competitor lives and trains most of the time.

[dfwgator]

I proposed that they should march according to which US University they went to.

UF has had a lot of medal winners, and a lot of them competed for other countries. I believe UF is only second to USC in that department.

[Freee-dame]

Another great idea.

“Faggotry on ice” and low ratings

[Parmy]

Geez! Is there still a week of this silliness left to go?

[dfwgator]

Exactly. Any sport that involves judges isn’t a real sport.

I want to know who is the fastest, period!

[libertylover]

It’s because of global warming and there’s no snow in the Rockies anymore but there’s still plenty in the Alps because Europeans endorse the Paris accords.

The bad new is: there’s people dumb enough to believe that.

[RooRoobird20]

No

[hinckley buzzard]

Yup. Who really cares?

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Yawwwnnnn......Oh, look at the time......

[freedom1st]

Its gone downhill from Katie Couric’s commentary on the Opening Ceremonies.

[RooRoobird20]

Between Lindsay Vonn and Adam Rippon, a LOT of viewers have been disgusted and stopped watching.

[chief lee runamok]

Mediocre talent brings mediocre results.

It’s that simple.
