Things are not going well for the organizers of the Tokyo Olympics, and the situation continues to grow more complicated by the minute.

First and foremost, there appear to be some very valid concerns that the games will be taking place amid a rise in COVID cases in Japan and despite warnings from local and global health officials on that subject.

There will already be no spectators in place during the international gathering, but now there will be no hugging or shaking hands among the athletes also. Not that it affects me, I won’t be going (or watching).

...

BMX freestyle rider Chelsea Wolfe (an alternate) said she will burn the American Flag if she wins. I suppose that will be okay as long as she doesn’t touch anyone.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, and East Germany, my interest has waned. I never turn them on. My wife still has an interest and watches.

Are they planning on using Kim Jong Un's bodyguards to enforce the rules in the Olympic Village?

The last Olympic event I saw was when our hockey team kicked butt in 1980.

Why are they worried about the athletes? Aren’t they all jabbed? If they do get it the chance of death or serious illness is almost nonexistent.

No. Some of them are concerned that the vaccine will affect their performance at the games.

Everything is bogey covid’s fault. People should never allowed to do anything except serve their commie masters.

Personally, I’m hoping they just replace it with a livestream of a Godzilla Mega-Marathon, Monster-Insanity, All-Out-Attack!

No hugging or touching hands? I’ve read that the Olympic Village is a hotbed of sequel activity. All of these young, world class fit athletes.. are they going to wear masks and maintain 6 foot social distancing? I think not.

I’d rather watch old episodes of “Pink Lady and Jeff”.

Reckon she will make it home in one piece?

I won't be watching...not even for a second. Dudes competing against women and Americans showing contempt for this country are just two of the reasons.
