Attack of the boring aliens.

You missed 2 weeks of great sports. PatheticProud to say that I haven't watch a second of this Olympics. Have zero interest. I would have loved to have watched Brooks and a few others, but the Olympic committee chose to not make it about the best athletes in the world with multiple unnecessary controversies. You have the very best athletes on the planet. How do you screw that up?
It is a shame. The athletes deserve better. I think Italy will do it right in 2 years.You missed 2 weeks of great sports. Pathetic
lol so the opening ceremony sucked. It had no impact on all the great sports and athletes. You only screwed yourself not watchingIt is a shame. The athletes deserve better. I think Italy will do it right in 2 years.
I'm quite content with my decision. Why do you even care? You're free to do whatever you want. I'm not complaining about you making the choices that you make.lol so the opening ceremony sucked. It had no impact on all the great sports and athletes. You only screwed yourself not watching

I really don’t care what you do but this had no reflection on the athlete and most people get tired of your bitchingI'm quite content with my decision. Why do you even care? You're free to do whatever you want. I'm not complaining about you making the choices that you make.
A lot of the athletes were annoying too though lol...that's always been the but social media just makes it worseI really don’t care what you do but this had no reflection on the athlete and most people get tired of your bitching
Apparently, you do care at least enough to have posted several times now about it and to be throwing around descriptions like "pathetic".I really don’t care what you do but this had no reflection on the athlete and most people get tired of your bitching
It’s the new norm in all sports. The hard work, dedication and ability to overcome adversity really makes the Olympics special.A lot of the athletes were annoying too though lol...that's always been the but social media just makes it worse
Same here. After the blasphemous mockery of Christianity in the ugly, grotesque opening ceremony, I was out.
Oh, did we win the medal count?? Yay!!
But losing our country and the values it's stood for is a bad trade for a bunch of tin medals.
However, I'm still eagerly looking forward to college football in a few weeks.
I didn’t watch any of the gayest Olympics either. When I heard LeBron James was carrying our U. S. flag, I said I’m done.lol so the opening ceremony sucked. It had no impact on all the great sports and athletes. You only screwed yourself not watching
Uhhh, France isn't our country.Same here. After the blasphemous mockery of Christianity in the ugly, grotesque opening ceremony, I was out.

What a ridiculous comment.LOL these MAGA have excluded themselves from every part of society at this point. They can't watch sports, can't watch movies or shows, can't go to most stores, can't use most new technology, can't read the newspaper, can't watch most any local or national news, etc. They're becoming the angry, weird version of the Amish.
The TV coverage that I saw didn't focus on any of those things.It’s the new norm in all sports. The hard work, dedication and ability to overcome adversity really makes the Olympics special.
It was nice seeing Dr Dre back - I was wondering how much they were going to censor “the Next Episode”. Europe may do cheese well, but, England excluded, their music is brutal. LA will bring it in that respectLA better up its game for 2028. Their part of the closing ceremony was pretty blah IMO.
I for one thoroughly enjoyed watching the Olympics. Loved swimming, track & field and gymnastics especially and of course watching us get the Gold medal in men's basketball. How great and clutch was Steph Curry? Then he kind of gives the pro French crowd the business after he hit all his daggers! Love it!It’s the new norm in all sports.

Have that guy on ignore because he's 1) dishonest and 2) makes everything political. For some reason on this board, you are allowed to post directly political attacks if you lean one way without any consequences but if you are merely known to have the opposite political leanings from the days when the test board was free, then you will be threatened to be banned for posts that aren't political but could trigger those that are.What a ridiculous comment.
This Olympics really was quite exciting and enjoyable. Many of the sports came down to the thinnest margins—Curry going crazy at the end of the game was legendary. Haha yeah and it seemed like every sport there was a Penn Stater involved.I for one thoroughly enjoyed watching the Olympics.

I also enjoyed seeing all the families supporting their athletes and cheering them on.
I don't really follow any of these sports closely but when it is the U.S. competing on the biggest global stage it makes it very exciting and fun to watch and follow.
Loved the fact that Penn Staters did so well.
My co-MVPs of the games were Katie Ledecky and Simone Biles. I also want to give a shout out to Cole Hocker who ran one hell of a race in the 1500 meter run to take Gold for the U. S. in an event we typically are not a factor in. And the women's 4 x 100 meter medley relay swimming team getting the Gold, setting a world record and clinching the most number of gold medals in swimming for the U.S. over the Aussies, 8 vs 7!
I merely respond to this guy’s weird political rantings. He doesn’t like when people post charts and facts and stuff that disputes what he’s saying so he puts them on ignore! 😆Have that guy on ignore because he's 1) dishonest and 2) makes everything political.

How did he miss anything that he didn't want to watch? I've watched less and less sports due to certain reasons and I don't miss them.You missed 2 weeks of great sports. Pathetic
The ioc is a corrupt organization and I've given up on the Olympics near thirty years now. The reasons are corruption and one time it was the coverage not featuring different events. I liked if you'd like to track and field in the Olympic weightlifting for example it was shoved aside for other events. There was too much placed under the human interest angle, which I do not care about I just want to see the events.I for one thoroughly enjoyed watching the Olympics.

Except for the college football. I don't care anymore .I'm with you.
That is the worst angle forever and it killed sports. Everyone has to have some story instead of just playing games. I could handle a little background, but I don't care how hard someone has to train. But the very nature of making it to the highest level, overcoming adversity, obstacles, injuries, and other things in your way is par for the course.It’s the new norm in all sports. The hard work, dedication and ability to overcome adversity really makes the Olympics special.
And sheep like you just keep repeating the same BS spoon fed to you by the Dems and their sycophants in the MSM. I bet you believe that the same person who won the same number of electorates in the 2020 Dem primary as I did, dropped out with a 3% approval rate, covered Biden’s mental incompetency for years, failed as border czar and everything else as VP, is suddenly the second coming because that’s what you are told. You folks are becoming the people Orwell wrote about but was only off by 40 years.LOL these MAGA have excluded themselves from every part of society at this point.

Well said. The Dems and the worthless media covered up for a demented old fool for four years and no one cares. And they didn't care until the same old fool was getting crushed in the polls. This cover-up should be a massive story and the Dems should be held accountable, and I'm not even talking about the horrendous job they've done across the board, but their pathetic voting base only knows maga. Smh.And sheep like you just keep repeating the same BS spoon fed to you by the Dems and their sycophants in the MSM.

I feel like viewers need to be able to separate sports from entertainment. In this case, the fantastic competition has nothing to do with the ridiculous "art" associated with the opening and closing ceremonies. I didn't watch either but did catch clips. It reminds me of the way overdone presentation of the Lombardi Trophy where old players walk the trophy is while people reach out and touch it like it was the golden calf and cured incurable diseases or something. It also brings back thoughts of complaints about in-game music at PSU games. NBA & NHL games are horrific with their music for someone who just wants to watch a sporting event.Attack of the boring aliens.

The same among us are glad you did. Poor self pitying thing.I didn’t watch any of the gayest Olympics either. When I heard LeBron James was carrying our U. S. flag, I said I’m done.
What whine clown? Reminds me of the old saying about people who like dish it out but can’t take. Back to mommy’s basement to watch more CNN to make you feel better.You want some cheese with that wine.
I enjoyed the Olympic games more when it was played by amateurs and I cheered for the U.S. to beat the Soviet Union.I feel like viewers need to be able to separate sports from entertainment.

Regardless, I have always loved the Olympics. I have great appreciation for being the best in the world. I especially like watching sports that the USA hasn't always appreciated like synchronized diving, ping pong, badminton, and break dancing. For example, I really wonder about the logic of making break dancing an Olympic sport but the athleticism of the finalists was off-the-charts.
And for the record, I have no problem with people pushing back on the blasphemy. You can't allow people to push you around lest you always be pushed. But the opening and closing ceremonies are just entertainment. It is not competition. It is just a bunch of people who get together and decide how to create content wrapped about the best sporting event in the world so that they can sell more ad time.
But there are bright spots. Mr. Bean playing Chariots of Fire at the London opening is one of the funniest bits ever. (really starts up at about 00:50)
