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?"

They were so ugly, solid red. The flag is red, white and blue, not solid red. And, the basic design was not very attractive either. Ugh. Changed channels. I will admit that last night I happened upon a swim contest. The Japanese woman won gold, U.S. took silver and bronze.

Couldn't tell you the names or anything, but it is weird to not have a lot of fans in the venues cheering for their countrymen/women.

I have looked at the USA uniforms for several sports at the Olympics. I have not found any that make it look like our flag is red white and blue, much less that it is the stars and stripes. The uniforms seem to be 98% red or 98% blue or 98% white or 98%red and blue with a tiny little bit of the other color or colors.

I hope that some teams have uniforms that look like the USA’s colors are red white and blue. At least the blue is somewhat like the blue in our flag, and not such a dark blue that it looks black which has been the case at some previous Olympics.

Last year I attended a few live streamed music concerts. The bands were playing their guts out with no audience. After every song...the camera and sound crew and other bands in the wings cheered. That was it. It was sad, not just for the bands themselves but for humanity.

I don't care what the athletes say...part of that thrill is the cheering audience. I dislike the wokism but not every athlete or entertainer etc is into this stupidity...many of these athletes train hard, usually don't make much money, probably love America, but they are being robbed of a big part of their glory.

A few weeks ago I attended a live, in-person gig...sweaty humans were moshing, people were drinking alcohol, guys were trying to hook up with gals (and visa versa), and wireless guitarists were jumping into the audience. A few people were masked but given the demographics, I doubt everyone has gotten their shots.

I am telling you, we will perish as humans if they make us go into the hole again. I also suspect, we will see resistance that'll make Dearborn look like nothing.

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...
