It’s not if you win or lose, it’s about your commitment to Social Justice...
Nothing interesting there. Bunch of gays being hyped by the media.
Our home hasn’t watched a single, broadcast minute of this year’s Olympics.
We normally do watch. Just not that interested with snowflakes dissing our POTUS.
Have only seen clips/gifs of a few of the fails, er, runs.
The politics of this country are literally distracting the athletes.
Shut up and win medals.
Media needs to go back to the days of only showing US athletes who win medals.
Speaking for myself I’ll tell you why:
Now let me say this, I LOVE the Olympics! I’ve been a regular watcher since Olga Korbut did “that thing” in 1972 in Munich (I was 11 at the time). I prefer the summer games over the winter but I still enjoy watching.
This year the games are simply dull. I’m not sure why. I’ve tried watching. I just can’t keep any interest. It has NOTHING to do with politics or society or gays or anything like that. I’m just not seeing any very exciting events or atheletes.
I have trouble with sleep patterns in winter weather. I’ve found a two-week solution. Last night, I turned on my antenna TV (so it doesn’t count as viewership). They were showing hour after hour of people going down the same mountain. It put me to sleep and I didn’t wake up until morning.
Viewership should spike tonight as America cheers Lindsey Vonn on to victory!
I hope non of my tax money goes to this crap.
They make it so difficult to watch unless you want to pony up your hard earned money for cable. I thought I could watch it on HULU but you have to buy the $39.99 tv online pkg to view the Olympics. I came close this morning to doing that because I wanted to watch hockey but I stayed strong and just kept track of the scores online.
Lets see.....
1. The media falling in love with the Norks and giving them positive press
2. Spoiled brat US athlete miffed for losing the chance to carry the flag in the opening ceremony
3. Athletes that are openly critical of the President and Vice President over stupid, shallow reasons. The MSM hailing this as a great thing.
I guess those are leading the factors in the big drops.
Note too long ago, the Olympics was an opportunity for ALL Americans to come together and root for their country. This was most evident 38 years ago when the “Miracle on Ice” happened. We were in the middle of the Iranian hostage crisis and this country needed something to unite us. The US Hockey Team did just that. Whenever I hear people chanting “USA, USA, USA!!!” today, it takes me back to February 1980. Such nationalism. Such pride. Everyone in this country felt great.
It would have been unheard of if any US athlete would have said something critical of this country or its President back then. We were all together as one. The Olympics was a vehicle for everyone to forget about life and politics and cheer for their country. Politics was another issue for an another time.
You don’t see that now, just a bunch of self-absorbed spoiled brat athletes who want to talk about things that don’t unite any country....and a propaganda media that overly exposes this PC cr@p as if anyone really wants to see it or cares.
Here are the stories NBC has hyped non-stop:
1. Racist black speed skater boycotts opening ceremony because he lost a coin toss.
2. Washed up alpine skier Lindsey Vonn trashes President Trump.
3. disgusting homosexual figure skater attacks VP Pence.
These 3 are the face of the US team as far as NBC is concerned. In reality, they are a national disgrace and the primary reason why the US team is performing so poorly.
The other networks have deferred to NBC by broadcasting rerun programs.
It might be interesting to find out whether entire TV network viewing was down or just the Olympics channel.
In the 60s and 70s the broadcast networks were cut-throat. If one had a special event, the others would compete with new near-first-run movies and mini-series. Now, they all seem to sink together.
Vonn and the two hateful faggots bashing Trump and Pence are keeping me far away. It is always ugly when the self-loathing of homosexuals is turned outward. They hate the very people - rooted in God’s love - who could heal them from the horrible abuse they suffered, like Pence.
No women’s beach volleyball, not interested.
Too many commercials.
Too much talking about nothing, i.e., “interviews”; “personal interest stories”, NBC talking heads just getting their faces and PC opinions on the air.
Too much PC crap, even in the commercials.
Too much Trump bashing.
Too much kissing NORK butt.
The Olympics isn’t on any of this household’s tvs due to the uber liberal athletes running their mouths against Trump and conservatives.
Lindsey Vonn’s zero medals. Oh, well. We don’t feel the least bit sorry.
Curling?
Three nbc channels.
One is all talk.
One is ALWAYS curling?
One is kinda iffey?
Nbc blows.
Snowflakes and SJW's? No thanks. I'd rather watch reruns of "Mama's Family"! If I want snarky comments, Vicky Lawrence is much better at it than these doofuses. Heck, I think even Bill Maher, the doctor of snark, would be preferable.
Well, maybe not.
At this moment on NBC there is (make that WAS, I switched it off) a feature about a gay snowboarder - all LGBTQ, politics, and preaching. It had nothing to do with his sport or how well (or in his case, how poorly) he did in his event.
Yes, it’s no wonder the ratings are low. I’m sure they’ll go lower during the next week.
