Didn’t plan on watching anyway.

Living in America is the best thing that ever happened to those two spooks.

What’s the olympics? Is there a need to know? Didn’t think so.

Just peachy. Maybe they can salute their CCP hosts. I plan on not watching any of this. I am sure I will not be the only person tuning out.

On another note, how are the men competing as women going to beat the drug tests? Won’t their testosterone levels (for women) be too high?

Why not let them do the Bill Clinton salute (drop their pants)?

These Woke fools do not seem to care at all that their antics are driving down viewership. In fact, all sports do not seem to care about viewership whatsoever.

You are right on brother - No one person has to voluntarily contribute to the so-called USA Olympic Team. It is a travesty that our tax dollars are supporting this behavior.

If they truly feel they want to trash the USA, then let them, if they have the balls and/or whatever other genitalia they think they have, just boycott the games.

They have nothing else.

Stopped watching social justice worms in any display and especially when on the world stage. Tantrum throwers deserve no attention.

Yep. Wasn’t planning on watching but now I definitely won’t be watching either the trials or the Olympics.

Agreed. I lost respect for the Olympics many games ago. The athletes turned pro and diva and the money flowed constantly through product endorsements and so forth. I always felt the Olympics was to showcase a well-rounded population which prized physical health and occasionally showcased the best of the well-rounded citizens but these are now spoiled full-time athletes no difference than other pro athletes. Added to that the insane winning margins which reflected more athletic equipment than skill and the idea that an athlete can be the best in the world for years and then have a bad week during the Olympics and he or she is practically ruined.

If you’re really an American, shun them. Tell the neighbors about them. Ridicule them. Boycott their corporate supporters.

Have no intentions of watching any of it, so I don’t care if they drop their drawers.

The brothers in Vietnam had no choice as the a-holes in ‘68 who played a kids game in racing like circus animals. Same goes for these “modern” woke fvks with their heads up their arse and have no idea in the irony of their true leftist privilege. Bottom line is that liberals destroyed all sports.

Problem with that is a lot of neighbors would applaud them.

Then they should not be on the team. They are supposedly representing the United States. If they can thumb their noses at the flag, they do not belong on the team.
