This was supposed to be the big coming-out party of Chairman-for-life Xi with his 100-year-old Communist Party. Instead, it’s turning out to be a massive faceplant and it’s hurting both NBC and the game’s advertisers. for an Olympics Even Putin can’t be bothered to stay awake for the ‘excitement’ of it all.
China’s Wuhan Wheezer boomeranged just in time for many Olympic hopefuls to find themselves quarantined in horrible conditions. By comparison, photos of the food visiting athletes have been given there make Michelle Obama’s nightmarish lunch program look like it had been designed by Jamie Oliver.
But conditions in isolation are reportedly dire. Valeria Vasnetsova, a Russian biathlete, claims she was served the same inedible meal three times a day for five days in a row – and that it left her so emaciated that her ‘bones [were] sticking out’.
Head of German team Dirk Schimmelpfennig also blasted ‘unacceptable’ conditions for his athletes, saying isolation rooms are too small, not hygienic enough, the food is poor and PCR tests that athletes must take to free themselves are not being given.
Natalia Maliszewska, a Polish speed skater, described being repeatedly moved into and out of quarantine over successive days due to conflicting Covid test results, an experience she described as a ‘trauma’ that left her ‘crying and crying’.

The #CCP is imprisoning over 1M Muslim Uighurs in forced labor camps used to produce products for the same U.S. corporations that preach social justice at home but sponsor the Genocide Games.
It's disgusting — and I'm proud to stand with

to hold them accountable.
Good.
I love the smell of socialists losing their money in the morning.
They should have known better.
The Games are crashing and burning and I love it. I do feel sympathy for the athletes.... but this should have been shut down months ago.
The coverage on NBC is nauseating, John Weir for example. I also noticed that the Americans are displayed in a bad light. They were molested, have eating disorders and in one case the showed what a messy room one of them is living in. This was presented as badges of honor. On the other hand, Sweden (I think) showed an athlete who left his sport to serve in their army.
That’s a shame. 😐
I have not been watching and will not watch.
I’ve watched much of the Olympics- i trained for the Olympic decathlon for a decade and have been to the Olympics as a spectator 4 times. I could care less about the Olympic ideal but love watching sports you don’t see everyday.
What a disaster the bejing Olympic’s have been!!! Complete disaster!!
First- bejing is a garbage host for the winter games- no snow peaked mountains or nice scenery.
Second- there’s no snow!!! All the snow is man made crap.
Third- the venues look like crap. Last night I was watching women’s ski aerials- they looked like they were skiing right next to 3 mile island or some other nuclear reactor!!!
Does 10% of the losses go to the Big Guy?
The woke Comcast commercials are doing them no favors either. Try and find a commercial that has a white guy in it- i dare you!!!
Wow! Impressive.
Unfortunately that's true of all commercials these days.
Thank you...of course at the time Bruce Jenner was my hero and someone i patterned my life after...and i stress Bruce!!! (lol)
I normally love to watch the Olympics.
It’s traditionally been one of the few things I turn the TV on for.
Not this year. Not with the horror stories I am hearing about it.
The comcast commercials since the Olympics have started are absolutely over the top with their woke BS.
In 2014 NBC paid $7.75bn for the rights to broadcast the Olympics in the US until 2032.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂
It would be cool to see athletes from Texas do battle against California.
Plus it would be a boon to the local and state economies.
I know of no one who is watching these Olympics.
The Freedom Games. Must always be held in a free nation, and they can come up with the criteria to define “free.” Not having forced labor camps would be one requirement.
I hope this puts NBC out of business.
