I almost hate to admit this, but not enticed at all to watch the Winter Olympics coming up. With all the negatives re China the last few years. The USA is not sending gvt reps to China and NBC limiting number of reporters and announcers. From what I heard much of their broadcasting will be from the USA.
And our athletes were warned about speaking out about China and communications while in the country.
So I personally will drastically limit or avoid watching at all. China was rewarded with the ‘22 Olympics despite many human rights and international issues

Do others here have concerns about China hosting and decided to limit or not view???? Is it just me?

Sports and science are two areas that tend to bring nations together and such co-operation should be encouraged.

If you don't like China then I suggest a better way of protesting would be not buying its products. You can continue to do this long after the Olympics are over.

Most definitely I will watch the opening to closing.
It's about International Sports and competition.
Routing for the Jamaican Bobsled team after missing for 24 years.
I watch the NFL too!

Even less interesting than NBA

I never was one to cut my nose off to spite my face.
Will watch, and enjoy.

Excellent.

Since it is a 13-hour time difference, most if not all will be tape delayed. I may watch if something interesting happens. I do like the snowboarding.

[MrFlorida]

When the athletes started making political statements, that's when I stopped watching.

[davem4616]

wife always liked the ice skating...if we know when that's being broadcast we'll tune in

[Mortal1]

well one person suggested not buying china's products...tell me how that goes please.

another feels it's cutting off ones nose to spite their face...the comparison of things you choose not to do that would spite your face in no way compares to not supporting olympics held in a country that has forced labor, sweat shops, population control, mass murder and a dictatorship gov't. that's to name a few. so please watch the olympics and support china's world view.

no I won't watch. can't talk about the Chinese gov't while there??? really????? it's 2022 folks. if you support the olympics that have been nationalized by china go for it. I hope you get to experience what the Chinese people do on a day to day basis.
