Seriously? You do know the whole reason Rome created the Olympics was to try and bring together other countries. I will definitely be watching. Also, if you know your history, China was much worse 20+ years ago. They continue to improve their ancient culture. Don’t try to make them something they are not. American culture is only about 254 years old, but China’s is 5000+ years.

I love the Olympics and will be watching. My desire to support and cheer on Team USA is much greater than any anger that I might feel for another country. But that's just me.

Besides, the business part of the Olympics is complete. Choosing to watch or not watch changes nothing.

History repeats. It will be like watching 1936 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany all over gain with concentration camps up beyond the horizon. Shameful!

Easy for me to say I will not be watching since I probably watched 30 minutes of it in the last 40 years. NBC have paid hundreds of millions for the rights and in turn all the advertisers paying in so that you the viewer will be suckered in. Stand by your principles or not.

Everyone has a reason they WILL or WON’T watch the Olympics. Whether anyone else agrees or not, everyone’s feelings are valid. I am glad to see that most everyone expressed their own opinion and did not put others down for having a different opinion. Nice job!

Beat me to this and can not recall anything worse since then, except for the Munich summer games. That incident was terrorism as opposed to what the Americans did.

1.4 Billion folks cant be wrong. We are here today and dead tomorrow.. I would rather watch the Olympics then Fox News. At least what you see on the Olympics is truth. No one makes up the results for a pay check .

I ask myself: would I watch the Olympics if they were held in North Korea? I base my decision on whether to watch or not on that answer.

Poor/disappointing viewer ratings will affect what the conglomerates can charge for advertising during future type events. :clap2::clap2::clap2:

Olympics
 
Definitely boycotting thecommunistOlympics. China is anenemyofAmerica. :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?[/QUOTE]

The truth is from a young Chinese professional lady that I know here in TV is that she feels very blessed to not live in China any longer. She is still trying to get some family out, but hope is fading. She says there are no human rights in that country. She says what we hear is true. Very sad she said as people there do not know the difference.
Once she told me that, no Olympics for me.
