can still tell you where they were and how they felt on that magical night 41 years ago.

I remember that it wasn't shown live and Louis Rukeyser spilled the beans at the end of the Wall $treet Week show.

Certain athletes are calling for a medal ban, alteratively; awarding participation certificates to all.

What could possibly go wrong when you turn it into the Academy Awards of sports?

Wait for football and the black national anthem.

I, too, saw The Great Rukeyser (Ave’!) and noticed how soyboy NBC has made the Olympics.

I’ll watch YouTube clips, thank you.

Good news story of the day. Do not give the communist media a cent of your money or a second of your time.

Turn the cameras on, cover the events, get the heck out of the way. Watch tape of Jim McKay covering the Olympics if those steps are too complicated for you.

Many have been long fed up by the politicization of sports overall and by big-box media outlets’ reliance on touchy-feely personal accounts to bolster ideology...

When I see a women's soccer team take a knee during the national anthem, it just pissed me off. Here we are contributing funds to allow those people to be there and they disrespect the very body who sent them there. People like soccer player Megan Rapinoe has disrespected the flag for over a year now. I've quit going to Subway because of her. The same is true for Gwen Berry. I would rather lose than support these people who would likely be unemployed if it were not for donations by us. Shame upon all of them!

“Simone Biles is showing us what exemplary feminist leadership really looks like,” a headline to one opinion piece at NBC News read. Naomi Osaka, a Japanese tennis player who withdrew from the French Open in late May for mental health reasons, was also cited by the writer, one Lauren Leader, as a modern-day heroine alongside Biles:

“What both these powerful, young women of color are showing their critics and the world, is that rejecting the limiting, often sexist expectations of others in favor of preserving oneself has enormous power. They are brave enough and strong enough to believe in themselves – to be true to who they are, and to refuse the crushing, unrealistic expectations that they be ever outstanding, ever perfect, always smiling and beautiful to boot. To be a top athlete of their caliber, especially as women of color, is to carry the weight of the world. At the Olympics, the world’s biggest stage, Simone Biles was strong enough, brave enough and feminist enough to say, no more.”


Let’s accept that as true: How is that actually distinguishable from personal cowardice?

What is the point of the Olympics? It has a longstanding grand point, which the writer seems to have missed.

What happens when everyone takes a ‘mental health day’ on the same day?

It’s doubly good since woke athletes and Comcrap is not being watched.

I work for Universal and we have an office on the lot. The execs are either fags or a-holes of the highest caliber. We are happy they lose money.

All liberals should withdraw from the world, “in order to focus on (their) mental health.”

The left tanks everything it touches . . . talk about the Midas touch! The difference being that everything the commies touch ends up with a brown hue and a distinct smell.

I feel like y’all are letting politics rule your life and ruin things for you, boycotting everything if they say a few things you don’t like. The olympics has always been a little lefty with all the “countries coming together good sportsmanship” and feel good stories etc.

I’m actually enjoying the olympics and I brush off those things

I feel sorry for Biles but she’s mentally weak. I hope she gets what ever help she needs, but all these people coming out and hailing her as a hero because she’s weak, is what’s wrong with the younger generations. Winning should be encouraged, Keri strug landining a vault with a broken leg, even people who don’t win, but compete. We’re telling kids that a millionaire who quits because of feelings are who they should emulate. This why every person under 25 has a therapist now

Do people tuning in to watch sporting events want to be fed a nonstop diet of politically correct trauma narratives instead?

You mean just like all the other news?

Tell my why we need the Olympics? It used to be a showcase for the pride of Patriots to the rest of the world. It used to be for an “Olympic TEAM”. But we don’t have a team anymore. We have a group of talented individuals that are selling themselves for their own causes: Black Power, Socialism, Money from endorsements, and a few who truly want to represent their countries. Every single athlete on a US TEAM should take a loyalty oath to the Constitution of the US, and for what it stands, and not be allowed to participate if they cannot take this oath. I had to stand before a flag and take this oath before I was permitted to be a sailor in the US Navy.
