OK....so no talk about the Olympics here??? Common you guys. USA USA!!!
My wife has never been so glued to sports as this event in Japan. Laying in her bed in the ICU....she welcomes this means to keep her mind off pain and chit. Been a great way to get thru the hours of otherwise boredom and worse.
Lots going on....very little crowd. I would think its harder to perform at max with the small number of people watching. Fun watching the USA / China volleyball tonight. USA!
(I'm starting to feel like the official thread starter....grin).

We've been watching a lot too. Started a month ago with the track and field trials. Always been a huge Olympics fan and will enjoy watching sports that I would otherwise ignore.

They lost me as soon as the women's soccer team took a knee for the anthem.

When I have sat down at a tv and try to watch, I seem to see more stories about the struggles of the athlete instead of actual sports. Maybe it’s my bad timing.
I would actively root against women’s soccer.

But so many other athletes and teams are very much different. I will turn off a few....and others I will support. Lots of pro-America athletes too.

It's the one time a year I get to see water polo on TV. It was my primary team sport back in the day.
I also saw some Taekwondo, and what a boring Olympic sport that is. There's zero ass kicking in that, lots of love tapping, and plenty of dancing. I realize a taekwondo dude could kick my ass in real life. But the Olympic version of it is dumb.

I watched a bit of WP this past weekend. What a grind that must be!

I have just lost interest over the years. The list of "sports" in the summer olympics now is so uninteresting. Honestly, the summer games were never of great interest, but so many absolute boring things on top of all the US hate(internally and externally). No interest here. Here is a list of the summer sports if anyone isnt aware of all the exciting opps to watch. olympics.com/en/sports/summer-olympics

No interest anymore. I used to enjoy it when younger. Now I guess I got better things to do?

Simone Biles choking cost me $100 bet. So did she actually get an injury or just crack under the pressure?
