Meanwhile, many of our athletes have regular jobs.

What a farce China (and the IOC) have made of the Olympics.

Wait until they take back the medals from the athletes and melt them down so they can buy gasoline.

They also made the IOC look like idiots by telling them that 12 year-olds were 16 and making them like it.

It was reported that 40 BILLION dollars was spent on these Olympic Games.....40 BILLION in a country with no human rights at all...How much could that money have done for the “people”???

It’s way past time we pulled out of this monstrous event. It wreaks havoc on every city where it’s held, producing profits for an elite few and doing harm to everybody else. Somebody should tally up how many eminent domain seizures have been done for Olympics held in the US.

American children shouldn’t be growing up hearing that “the Olympics” is some ultimate glory that they should aspire to. The brainwashing starts very young — I used to coach gymnastics and recall a 4 year old at her very first gymnastics class asking me “Were you in the Olympics?” She’d already absorbed the Olympics = Really Good message.
