I wish they would publish a list of the PROTESTING US so called OLMPYIANS
 
I would cheer against everyone of "OUR" Athletes who are suppose to be representing our Country by Protesting our Country.

Thank got the world is not run by old folks who forget whats its like to speak up for injustice.and use what ever platform to make change. The young are the future. Many of the same folks who boycott sports because some athletes try to bring change were rebels when they were young but grew up to be jaded and selfish

out with the old in with the new

If Network TV want's to cause division in our country then they should not profit from the games or anything else for that matter. Color me jaded.
Jaded you’re my hero ! To add to exactly that the crooks from the cable companies force sports networks on us then charge us for them. My favorite goodbye will be to Spectrum next month then on to streaming in a new and better life out of my comfort zone.

YES YES YES TOTALLY CORRECT. I'm 73 but that is totally correct. Get back into the fray and join and lead. Not go home and pout.

The question was if we'll watch or not, I too tend to not pay attention to Olympic ads, that are constantly on, therefore won't watch much if any.
Also, no audience or hoopla...certainly detours watching.....BUT, with all my " ignoring" I don't know what you guys are talking about. Hopefully without getting kicked off this someone can explain. What happened with Sweden soccer game? Who is dissing the US, my guess is the little blonde ? I tend to mute commercials and boring reports and obviously have missed allot.

On another note, usually during the Olympics the other stations have a crappy viewing lineup.....hopefully this year they will realize not to go that route and keep us happy.


Here's a first, responding to my own post lol
So I just read what Barry did....oh boy, not good.
This situation is not exactly the same as the NFL guy who took a knee....she's going there to represent the USA, (not get paid by some franchise). So, yes this leaves a very bad taste in our mouths.
Why don't these athletes think? Don't smoke marijuana and think it's ok. Don't protest your own country and think it's ok. First you go and Win....then come home, being respected and then state your case....people will probably listen.

Hoping Olympic cooperation among countries will rub off on all of us. It's time to heal. "And the world will live as one", I hope I'm not a dreamer (thank you John Lennon)

Google when this kneeling occurred and by whom. And look for a credible source.

Rick Kiwus 07-23-2021 09:56 AM
I will not watch after all these woke athletes disrespect the US!

Can’t wait to watch woman’s high jump competition- Ukrainian women are on a roll……

waynehal55 07-23-2021 10:22 AM

a knee.....I shut the t.v.

Why don't you stop being so hurt and man up and support all the OTHER hundreds of our athletes that did not disrespect our country. Do you not realize you are playing right into their hands. If everyone did what you are doing there would be no support for the US. They would throw then the biggest "winning" party ever.

Relax, get back in charge, let them make a fool of themselves.
Guess you missed this part: a team or person that disrespects our country.
Your ramble was almost incoherent.
