Watched about 10 min of the opening ceremonies last night. A group of idiots in translucent rain coats dancing for peace. 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Their parents do nothing for them but get them to practice. There’s no character building. No history or civics education


Shades of Todd Marinovich.

Don’t tell me, they also sang “Imagine”.

A pattern I’ve noticed over the years is that the most insufferable U.S. Olympic athletes are the ones who compete in stupid events that don’t even belong in the Olympics in the first place.

Gen Z has got to be the dumbest generation yet.

They should rollback the Olympics to just the events they had before the 1970s. Way too many events now, they all cater to the female audience, as is the case with all sports, especially the Super Bowl.

“I’m sure a reporter with an agenda went to each and every student and asked that question. Such a question wouldn’t normally come up.”

Nail on the head!

They wait to get there before doing this? Drop out and go home. You’re already losers.

What you’ve described is the inevitable consequence of having decisions in major competitive sports dictated by TV viewing considerations.

TV advertising is aimed at the dumbest and most emotionally malleable viewers. Watch a random set of TV ads to see who the advertising industry thinks these people are.

Also who watches network TV these days? I sure don’t, outside of an occasional sporting event, so all those ads with blacks aren’t meant for me.

Funny thing is, if you want white people in commercials, watch the Spanish channel.

Freestyle skiing? The things that qualify as sports these days.

I have mixed emotions about watching the Olympics. Hmmm. Watch the Olympics or watch paint dry? I’ll watch the paint.

Honduras could use some skiers.

Do stay there after doing your runs.

Well, then, just give your stolen land back to the Indians.

Oops, that was earlier this week. Wrong venue. It’s so hard to keep up with the moral bloviating.

I suspect about 80% of the male homeless in my Florida county used to work in construction.

The young are always maliable, because they haven't experienced enough of life, and this is particularly true for atheletes, as most of their life have been centered around the sport they sought to excel at, nd the fact thet they have mixed feelings exposes that reality.

This is why the Democrats want so badly to lower voting ages.

Without the Russians being allowed to compete, all the medals are tainted, anyway.

I, too, have mixed emotions about this group of skiers representing the United States.

I’d rather root for Poland.
