Whuan Olympics, anyone watching?

[PRDATR]

Haven't watched since friends participated and others were commentators on ABC. So a Loooooooog time. It's really about the kids who have overcome all odds to get there.

'68 had the Mexican Olympics massacre of protestors and at the games black athletes giving the Black panther salutes.

And who could forget the Munich Massacre at the 72 Olympics?

I was a 7 year old boy in 72, but I still remember my parents and older brother/sisters being glued to the TV coverage.    Was channel surfing and came across 'Munich' the other night, and ended-up watching it again.   The Israelis didn't stand for any crap when it came to dealing with that.

Jesse Owens ring a bell?

We need more knee whackin, crack smokin, buzzed drivin, porn star'in, hubcap smackin sweethearts like Tonya.

I watched about ten minutes of it, specifically some mogul competition. Then, I started to hear the wokeness and even the commercials are terribly woke. At that point, I turned it off. It's unfortunate, the winter olympics were always something I really enjoyed, but I just cant stomach all the victimhood.

Olympics are like professional sports, don't watch them.  I loved the Olympics but have been turned off by the wokeness and players with agendas.

Time to listen to more Rogan podcasts.

I was waiting for my pizza at Nellos last night and they were on the tv at the bar.  Someone (I couldn't identify male/female/other) was commenting for the broadcast team wearing the most bizarre outfit. I couldn't help but laugh and the gal next to me was snickering at it too.  Feel sorry for the athletes but that was a complete shite show.  Some moron made the decision to put this person on air.  Add another sporting event to the list I can't stomach anymore.

We usually watch the Olympics, mostly the summer games. However, I do enjoy watching the Luge, Bobsled, and my favorite... Curling.

If it was figure skating, that person is on there every year…looking more and more bizarre.

I prefer winter over the summer olympics so I'd like to be watching but haven't (not out of protest) just too darn busy.

His name is Johnny Weir -- an ex-Olympic skater. He's also gay.

Yeah that’s him. Still gets more and more bizarre every time I see him on the Olympics, but apparently he’s popular.
