Then, in the last couple weeks Covid has arisen in Japan, impacting some athletes. And of course the non-Live issue of holding the Games in Asia. So we'd already know results - such as the Women's soccer team losing 3-0 to Sweden - so....why tune in and watch? With all this NBC must be sweating after their $$$$$ investment.
I will probably do 'selective tuning-in'.
But I certainly enjoyed Wimbeldon tennis and the golf Open in England, even the Euro soccer championship. time will tell with the Olympics. I've been to Japan 10 times during my business career, and love the country, the people, and their spirit. But they can't catch a break re the Olympics.

I'm probably going to get more enjoyment from watching the 4th season of "Black Sails". This is the final season. Someone on TOTV suggested it a few months ago and it's terrific. It's based on Robert Louis Stevenson's book "Treasure Island". Lots of special effects on the high seas, storms, sword fighting, pirates who have taken over the island of Nassau, and the introduction of famous pirates Long John Silver and Black Beard.
