I'm only watching women's weightlifting to see if our entry in the heavyweight division sufficiently recovered from her "testicle Injury"... :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

The political statements are becoming overwhelming. I will choose not to watch!

camaguey48 07-22-2021 12:35 PM
No. Especially the women's soccer. Let them kneel to Sweden. They got their derrieres handed to them.

Hape2Bhr 07-22-2021 02:47 PM
Negative...politics, and refuse to watch any sport, where transgenders are allowed to compete. :ohdear:

Rapscallion St Croix 07-22-2021 03:28 PM
I am watching to see history in the making as men who used to be women line up in the hundreds to compete with men who have always been men.

BlueStarAirlines 07-22-2021 03:34 PM
Yawn. Why bother? Men competing as women, athletes talking smack about the nation they are representing. Its time for this vent to just go away.....

npwalters 07-22-2021 04:11 PM
What most have already said. I have no interest in supporting a team or person that disrespects our country.

As I heard another place.....go woke; go broke

Much of the 'luster' of Olympic games are tarnished, for me.

First the 1-year delay in holding the Games due to Covid. Then the decision not to have ANY public attend the Games. Then the issues re some USA athletes and the anthem. 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.

The politics is overshadowing the sports. I’ll watch the gymnastics replays on YouTube. Women’s soccer captain and most of the team are spoiled brats.

A serious question is spoiled brats your opinion or do you have knowledge?

Wokeism has ruined it for me.

I concur with many of the comments above, not interested due to the political interjections. I was surprised to see the many comments on this post with the same reaction.
Let's cherish the great memories folks.
Your favorite memories? Mine are
1) watching the opening ceremonies when hosted in China, the 1000's + beating the lighted drums
2) Seeing Michael Phelps excel in swimming, still see his great smile as he won the races,

Nope. It's history and I'm looking forward to 2022 in just 5 month! ;)

Bruce Jenner was a patriotic Olympic athlete. Remember the good old days.

Scorpyo 07-23-2021 05:21 AM
I couldn’t disagree with you more - well maybe a little more - not with your opinion. With that I agree 110%. It’s your choice of beverage I disagree with. A beer? That’s the best you can do? Me? I’m going to do a 2 for 1 margarita. 😂
Sorry this was in response to reply number 9.

Yes, read the lawsuit women’s soccer just lost. But not all the team members are spoiled brats.
