Well, they didn’t lose me. I haven’t watched the Olympics in decades. I used to love them.

The Olympic Committee has mismanaged the games into little more than a farce.

You aren't missing anything.

I think if you held a drinking game with these terms used by the commentators, you would be drunk in 2 minutes:

- "life long dream"

- "overcame adversity"

- "the human spirit"

The close of the London games had all of the famous Brit pop stars.

I watched the Ukraine mens wrestler go up againt Russia. U lost, but the significance of the match was not lost on me.

The closing ceremonies played as my 13yo son and i played rummy. Nice experience.

Didn’t know it was on and really didn’t care anyway.

I used to watch them religiously too...

the hype turns me off...

the constant parade of anything "black" or "muslim"...

biggest thing for me is nothing seems to be live...as in you watch it as its going on...

I usually like to watch the girls gymnastics and some of the guys if we have anyone in the running. Last night, I was awake and ended u watching our ladies losing at golf.

Some ski contests in the Winter and I have my fill.
