If I can live without MLB and the NFL, I can certainly survive without the Olympics.
Goodbye
It’s really sad to see all the facilities that are abandoned after the Games are over.
I have to give credit to Atlanta for a doing a good job of repurposing their facilities after they hosted the Olympics.
They should trim it back to just all the events they had in the 1976 Olympic Games, that’s plenty.
How much was the Bribe and who payed it ?
That’s a shame. It should be about athletic excellence. Period.
Well said.
When the Olympics returns to Greece — for all future Olympics — then I MAY watch it.
Not holding my breath, and definitely NOT interested in watch anything related to the “woke” news stories, anti-American diatribes, any of the men participating in women’s events.
Fully expecting China to come up with something to distract from the games in Japan.
I must admit Shohei Ohtani is getting me back into baseball.
Just hit number 31!
And which country will have the only protesters?
It may have looked good on tv but since I actually was at the games I found the atmosphere gloomy with the heavy security from the fallout of 72. Also a bunch of the African nations were boycotting because New Zealand’s rugby team had played South Africa. Taiwan was banned from calling itself the Republic of China by the IOC. The Queen looked nice opening the games in pink. One taxi driver I had was surprised how well she spoke French. I think he must have grown up with the idea she was the devil incarnate.
love it.
Well, supposedly, the IOC always calls for the “Olympic Truce” to be in effect during the Games. It is where all conflicts around the world are SUPPOSED to take a break from the time the Cauldron is lit until it’s extinguished.
Think China will abide by that?
Screw this crap. I can’t even watch the Olympics anymore. You’re gonna have all this kneeling and disrespecting going on. Piss on them all.
Protests and trannies?
Good luck getting folks to watch your shit show there IOC.
NBC is going to lose its shirt...
Works for me.
The few sports events I watch now are usually accompanied by silence, as I turn off the audio and decide for myself what I’m watching. It’s much more enjoyable than listening to talking heads yammer on.
If I were to watch the games, which I won’t, it would be instructive to compare the number of whiners are from the US with those from any other country. I’m already pretty sure of the outcome.
The Brits will be just as bad. Their soccer team kneels before every game in the Euros.
I hope Denmark crushes them.
