I don't care about the Olympics

[JohnnySavage]

Sports I don't know about, played by athletes I've never heard of, in a country that enslaves children, destroys the environment and spies on everyone.

The Chinese remind me of Ferengi. Evil little creatures.

 

[Champakian]

Yeah. I don't give a flying fuck about watching them.
I wish we were boycotting the Genocide Olympics,
or at least flooding the women's sports with
transgenders to compete with they doped
(and dopey) Communist athletes.



Sometimes you just miss East Germany
home of the original transgendered athlete...

I enjoy the Olympics, mostly because it brings attention to sports most people aren't aware about. Love curling.

I am boycotting the Olympics this year due to it being in China.

And certainly they won't be hurting by my lack of viewership.....I'm not doing it for them anyway

 

[Champakian]

Having said all that, I also understand being an athlete
and having a few are shots to compete at the highest level
and my sympathies are with them (except for the snowboarders).

China, in conditions where it's iffy who even will show up? No, not so much.

The 'games' should have ended 50 years ago, or more.

Zero interest here no matter where they are, or aren't.

The Winter Olympics are not particularly healthy these days. Too damn expensive. The reason they're in the noted winter wonderland of Beijing this time is that no one else wanted the damn thing.

I also note that NBC is getting less invested in the Games. They're halting their coverage for most of the day three weeks from today because they have the Super Bowl. That's something that never would have happened in a previous year.

Still sticking with the "used to be an athlete so I know" canard?

Eating isnt a sport, chunks.

I can get with snowboarding, softball, baseball.

Of course, Ferengi ain't Commies.
