Deadline Hollywood ^ | February 22, 2018 | Dominic Patten

It took 20 years and a shootout, but Team USA finally beat Team Canada to take the Olympics gold medal in Women’s Hockey late last night. However, for NBC, victory was not on the ice as the ratings for the second Wednesday of the PyeongChang games slide to their second worst result yet.

Women’s hockey = Powder Puff football. My HS son’s hockey team played a team with two girls, one a defensemen, another the a goalie. The team we played the girl was goaltending as the 1st string boy was out sick. Needless to say she was “Good” acording to the Mom’s from the other team. 6-0 after the first period and ended up being 13-1 after we took the off the gas. The girl I saw crying after the end of the first period. Most women’s sports are a spastic joke compared to the men. I exclude figure skating and gymnastics. Plenty of YouTube videos where you see men humiliating girls in hockey, basketball, MMA, Karate, softball and boxing. As an aside I am a Blue Belt in Brazilian Jui Jitsu and I can count on one hand the number of times I been tapped out by a girl. Anything under a brown belt I can submit in under 2 minutes. Other blue belts forget it, under 30 seconds. this is having rolled with dozens of women over the 4 years.

I watched the first period, then went to bed. A great game during that period, even though the US team failed to score during two PP.

As soon as I learned that NBC was shoving their homosexual agenda down our throats I tuned out for the entire Olympics. Have followed a few results online but have not watched ONE MINUTE of NBC coverage. To hell with them!

Some college basketball and football coaches used to sit their star athletes down for some basic financial training and a lot of Dutch uncle advice on how not to be broke two years after their pro careers end. Maybe the good coaches still do this. They need to. A lot of top tier college programs are basically diversion programs that keep thugs out of jail for a few years, with the potential pro jackpot at the end of the rainbow.

The problem is a little different in women's sports, which don't have that much money involved to begin with. Still, a lot of the young ladies have potential as coaches, commentators, or endorsers. And some of them seem to need some basic training on how not to ruin their brands before age 30. Lyndsey Vonn is a sad example. Not long ago, she was at the peak of her sport and, with glorious good looks and a winning smile and personality, she had a great future in sight. Then she ditched her husband and took up with America's most notorious whore chaser. That's a major branding mistake right there. She's been a laughingstock ever since. Going self-destructively political is just a final nail in the coffin. She gets my vote for the Miley Cyrus award for 2018.

When the press uses the Olympics to praise a murderous communist regime, to promote homosexuality, and to denigrate the Vice-President, you can expect many conservative viewers to tune out.

What has Vonn done that was political? Not denying it, but I never heard about it.

yup- i love the Olympics, trained for them and have been to four different Olympics...

NBC stuck to their left wing agenda rather than just letting the stories happen...they are still push Adam Rippon, the Mike Pence bashing gay figure skater, and last night referred to him as “one of the most beloved athletes at these games”...guy was the third man on a three man Olympic squad and is leaving with a team bronze medal...

they keep referring to Trump hating Lindsay Vonn as one of the most “iconic winter Olympians in American history”...she’s one three medals, 1 gold and 2 bronze, in two Olympics...Eric Heiden won five in one Olympiad...

I’ve seen a little of the Olympics in my local bar, but haven’t tuned in at home for one minute.

I was about to go to bed when I heard the NBC announcers say that Vonn decided not to practice run on that slalom course, but that’s ok, she’s so awesome.

Heard that and decided ‘this is gonna be good’ and stayed up for it, didn’t disappoint.

From what I’ve read (never watched), Rippon was 10th in the ranked outcomes as an individual and not competitive with the top skaters. He is being promoted so heavily solely for the homosexual agenda. If he were “straight” we never ever would have heard of him.

Afterward every boy my age had a crush and every girl got her haircut.

I rocked that haircut for years. Several years ago I went to get my hair cut and asked the stylist for a "Dorothy Hamill". I got a blank look. The stylist next to her had to explain it.

In a December interview with CNN she dissed Pres. Trump, said she was in no way skiing for him and would not go to the White House after the Olympics.

Of course, she did not need to say anything, she could have left politics alone, but she preferred to cater to her SJW pals.

Darn, I missed that.

Swerved out of her lane to take a swipe at Trump.

And the D-bag Shani Davis who said the coin flip for who would be the flag bearer is racist placed 19th.

I guess that makes me a bad person to derive joy from the bitch slap of karma.
