I keep thinking this woke Olympics is going to be a total bust.

There was a time I would look forward to the Olympics - not anymore.

I plan on watching none of it.

That was when the Olympics symbolized hope because it was a place where the Communist world and the West could meet and compete peacefully. That gave it a transcendent quality, a powerful reason for existing.

Now that reason is gone, and the Olympics has been co-opted by people with a much different agenda. Any institution with great public exposure will attract a certain type of person.

Ans when the winter olympics roll around, how many ":guys in a tutu" will be competing in women's figure skating?

You have to wonder how Tonya Harding would react to that threat for a medal.

What now, not even Breaking?

If "Breaking" leaves you confused, it did me as well, so I looked.

Yes, THIS has now been raised to Olympic level:

Caitlin Clark is not playing. So 50% of this country is not going to watch the Olympics.
