Forty plus years ago I enjoyed the Ruski's & Poles try to kill each other in water polo.
The bob sledders death defying slides for life were fun to watch also, but the steroids and black hand salutes spelled the death knell for me.
I will always remember, with great pride, George Foreman winning in 1968.
Yea. I want the US to go into their house and WIN. It’s a face thing.
Man... that's soooooo gay!
Man... that's soooooo gay!
The only events I would be interested in are the shooting
events and they won’t be televised,but I am boycotting the chicoms anyway. Spectator sports are not my thing, anyway.

They are saying “go world.”
I am glad I am not watching. That is pathetic.
“I feel that every American (including President Bush) that are in attendance at the Olympics are traitors to democracy and civilization. These commie bastards are our enemies.”
I think second only to their besotted affair with Mexico is the Bush family’s besotted affair with China. Of course, GHWB was ambassador to China, and as president, after the unpleasantness at Tienanmen Square, he promptly dispatched Brent Scrowcroft to assure the Commies that that little incident wouldn’t affect the GHWB suck-up policy toward China.
No real surprise the W would go to the Beijing Olympics as the first US president ever to attend an Olympics outside the USA. Just not impressed with this “engagement” policy toward China the US has followed since the Carter years. How’s it working so far?
And how is that crash Chinese military project coming along, the one to develop systems to defeat US carrier groups?
We won’t be watching. Smacks a little too much of 1936.
I bet everything is gay to you. Loafer boy.
One too many cups of coffee this morning, dude...
Surely, you forgot your /sarc tag? If not, I got a bridge to sell you — real cheap.”
A better offer would be founder’s stock in your company with Federal approval to install toll booths on all Federal highways.
Nothing like highway robbery, is there?
;-)
Not quite.
In an ideally technologically-advanced world, I would be able to reach through my TV screen and jam the insipid necktie of that bootlicking boob Bob Costas down his steaming snack pipe.
NOW there's been enough ranting. ;O)
The fact that they are on NBC is a good reason not to watch. Not to mention, I might accidentally watch one of Obama’s stupid ads (which NBC probably gave him a discount on).
I have a friend competing...stayed up all night watching her event.
I enjoy the Olympics--some events more than others. I watch swimming and track events more than basketball--don't like the pros playing.
I prefer winter to summer Olympics.
I'd rather Bush be in China for the Olympics than selling our secrets to them for campaign contributions like the Clintons!
If I remember correctly, the Clintons went to China with 1500 of their closest friends before he left office and it cost us $70 million.
For the people that call Bush dumb. He is right where I would be.God bless him.
“The Olympics have always been about nations coming together for non political reasons to compete their athletes against one another. Bush did the right thing by going and not making the Olympics some dumb political statement.”{
Always, as in 1936, 1972, 1980, 1984, and that’s just for starters.
I gotta’ ‘loaf’ for you, skippy...
