And the vast majority of those viewers are trapped in airport terminals, nursing homes or loony bins! ;)

Haven’t watched a minute of it. No plans to. :)

Whatever the official color number is for the blue on our flag, it is not a blue that could ever be confused with black.

The LA games, run by Peter Uberroth, were glorious

And that was despite all of the Communist countries, with the exception of Romania, boycotting.

China’s summer opening as much as I hate to admit, was the best.

Because China still believes in showing National Pride, something Western countries are no longer allowed to do.

Godzilla should have done it.

Now that would have been awesome!

DUTCHSINSE is forecasting an earthquake around Tokyo this week due to seismic activity along the Ring of Fire.

“East Asia is so far away that the time zone difference makes it impossible to broadcast any meaningful live events during prime TV viewing times in North America.”

I catch up on YouTube.

Sports have been the savior of the media.

They have been an evergreen, constantly renewing programming source that attract huge numbers of viewers.

The Players and the Media have become arrogant, spoiled brats and people are tuning out

Plus, the quality of play has declined as the spoiled brats focus on off the field priorities and lifestyle pursuits.

Witness the NBA Olympic team of the NBA's best and brightest getting their butts kicked by other countries.

Okay, not very interested in the Olympics; but, channel surfing I happened upon a softball game between US vs. Australia. My first reaction was: "What awful, ugly uniforms they are wearing." My second reaction was: "Did the CCP design these uniforms?"

Yup, wife has been watching this stuff. Walked in on her last night, and couldn't believe they were only on France, figured they'd be almost done at that point. Surprise! It was the US walking in, looking like a bunch of frogs...

I will only watch what little my mentally challenged brother wants to watch but I’ve told him the minute I see someone turning his/her back on our flag or taking a knee I’m turning it off. It turns my stomach what this country has become and if I never see another newscast or sporting event I will be none the sadder. I snicker every time I hear that America has lost another group event.

And, 16.5 million are Airport TV monitors, train stations, bus terminals... and some woke dentist and clinic monitors.

“Doc, I don’t mind the root canal, but can you turn off the TV?”

I’d forgotten, but of course you’re correct. And if I remember correctly I won several Big Macs in McDonald’s Olympic promotion!

But math is racist you know, so it is not taught to “journalists”. 1984 was in Los Angeles, and, I assume, there were lots of viewers. To get a lower number, you probably have to go back to 1980 when Dhimmi Carter had the US boycott the Moscow Olympics.
