IT APPEARS THE GENOCIDE OLYMPICS ARE GOING ON - ANYONE WACHING?

[Gabriel Suarez]

I am not.

Fuck Joe Biden and China Too

(FJB&CT)

[Dorkface]

Nope. I am curious if Russia will use it as a distraction to invade Ukraine and the same with China and Tiawan. The conventional wisdom says they will wait till after but I am not so sure.

[Gabriel Suarez]

Neither Ukraine nor Taiwan are MY problems. Nor the country's problem since they allowed the Senile Emarrasment to take office. America's only REAL danger lives in DC and if the US Mil wants to fight for freedom, they would encircle that place and contain THAT threat

[KarlinPhoenix]

I used to watch the Olympics, no more, not after the 'woke' have taken office in DC. F*ck Joe Biden.

[steve_k]

Probably haven't watched the Olympics since Howard Cosell stopped reporting sports.... But if Vinko Bogataj makes a guest appearance I might tune it.

[Papa]

Nope.

[Knowledge]

Neither Ukraine nor Taiwan are MY problems. Nor the country's problem since they allowed the Senile Emarrasment to take office. America's only REAL danger lives in DC and if the US Mil wants to fight for freedom, they would encircle that place and contain THAT threat

Yes, this!

[Togar]

Olympics? What Olympics?

[WinstonSmith]

Nope

[SEANSTRAIT]

Had no idea they had started. Also a no from me

[Captain Ron]

Not here either. I had heard they were starting somewhere around this time, saw the headlines about Pelosi’s “don’t speak bad about China while you’re here” speech to the athletes, but that’s it so far.

[BillyOblivion]

I feel kinda sorry for the athletes who've put in the hours and the work and are having their moment overshadowed by a bunch of fooking arseholes grandstanding and propagandizing.

Both our arseholes here in this country, and the arseholes running China.

But I have little interest in most of the sports, less than zero interest in watching the obligatory "what they overcame" stories, don't want to give whatever propaganda channel is making millions off this any more eyeballs, and in the end it's been 35 or more years since I've organized my life around what time something was being shown on television.

I wish the American athletes well. I hope every one of them has the absolute best performance of their lives.

But fuck China.

[chad newton]

Even with my background in international sports, to me it’s all turned into a bunch of horse shit.... I probably won’t watch any of it, rather watch a good movie to be honest...

[Popshot]

The Olympics lost whatever entertainment value for me since the Cold War era, where the Soviet bloc coaches, athletes and officials infected the games with unfettered corruption. Things have gotten worse since then, from Olympic committee corruption, to professional athletes running over amateurs, and now all the woke foolishness.

[Oscar01]

F*ck china and the left. I won't support it any of that.


Besides I always preferred to play sports rather than watch...


As for the athletes, yeah it kind of sucks for them but they have choices. Just like living in a blue-state... It might not be the choice they want but no one is forcing them.

[Papa]

Yeah, so far this admin and its Chinese overlords are delivering neither bread nor circuses.

[Forklift]

Another Nope, not gonna happen, the woke crap killed it for me.

[apamburn]

Neither Ukraine nor Taiwan are MY problems.

*thread drift*

I oscillate between two views on this.

On the one hand:

Sometimes we should get involved in other peoples problems, because it's the right thing to do.

The Ukrainian people, for all intents and purposes, want to be autonomous and free. And a much larger, much stronger nation is about to simply seize them, and destroy their liberty - because it can (or for some megalomaniacal grand Russian unification wet dream Putin has).

Is that our problem? No, I guess not. But should we get involved?

Should France have stayed out of the American Revolution? That wasn't their problem.

Should the US have helped out in Europe in WWII?

Perhaps we should have left Korea to the red Chinese?

Was it right that we left Haiti to fight for it's independence against France, alone?

Is there no cause - aside from self-interest - worth fighting, maybe dying for? As Pres. Reagan asked, when did that begin?

When Christ took the cross?

Or perhaps our founders were fools - the problems of the patriots in Boston were, after all, not the problem of the patriots in Virginia.

Did our honored dead that died on the European front die in foolishness or vain?

Sometimes it's our responsibility, even if it's not our problem.

But then............

For every example of a justified intervention I can think of one that either didn't go so well, or where we shouldn't have been involved at all.

I think of the Founder's original intent - to have a tiny standing army, and a large, armed, trained citizenry (the militia), because they knew that with a large standing army the temptation would be too great to get embroiled in affairs just like this.

They certainly felt that the dangers of such military expeditions, despite good intentions, outweighed the costs of having your military also be your literal economic workforce (the militia) AND outweighed the cost of not being able to help in situations like this when they come. That speaks volumes.

And then.........

I think, "endorsing military support in Ukraine is tantamount to being willing to spend American money, sweat, and blood there."

How hypocritical, I think, it is, to be more open to intervention when it's someone else's blood on the line, and not mine.

So that brings me to the question. "If I endorse military support of Ukraine, would I be willing to go? Would I be willing to die for Ukrainian independence?"

"Would I send my son to do the same?"

The answer to both of those questions is a resounding no.

And so I come to the same conclusion as Gabe. Though I do empathize with the Ukrainians, I would not be willing to spill my blood or that of my children to keep them free; therefore I cannot in good conscience hold a view that would require someone else to do so in my place.

The answer to Reagan's question is that yes, there are some things worth dying for. But to me, this is not one of them.

[jesselp]

Nope. No interest.It's super hard to completely remove Chinese manufacturing from my life (I've tried!) but it's really easy to turn off the TV!

[macho mouse]

I care more about the brand of paper towels in my house than what happens at the Olympics.

[Chainsaw76]

Nope, I'd rather watch paint dry.

[Redbug]

Well said Apamburn.

I don't care about the Olympics...never have. I suspect the people watching will be very small. I have better things to do.

[StealthNeighbor]

Sorry but, for some reason, the Olympics made me think about a scene from the 1985 comedy, "Top Secret" with Val Kilmer...

(this was the movie that ended with someone barely tapping the rear bumper of a Ford Pinto)

[paranoid]

Why watch the genocide over there when they're running a genocide here...

I would much prefer watching the mil encircle Washington CC (communist capital) and delete those threats.

[Gabriel Suarez]

At a bar in Phoenix. One screen...UFC. One screen...basketball. One screen...some dad bod commentator. What nobody is wearing...fucking masks. What nobody is watching...the Genocide Games. Fuck China!!

[Brent Yamamoto]

Quickly reading and posting while resting between sets.

Olympics? Yawn.

Ok back to the iron.

[Cody C]

Honestly I would have watched the hockey games, but the NHL didn't allow their players to participate so, I'm not watching either.

No, not a chance.

[Jons999]

Didn’t even know that they were on until I saw news stories about the viewers and ratings being the lowest in history. And that Dutch reporter being dragged away by communist police in the middle of a live report.

[jpg366]

I remember watching avidly when I was a kid and the athletes were true amateurs with no endorsement deals or pro salaries.

I will admit I do watch the summer games for the 7’s rugby for the sole reason I know some of the players personally.

I have zero interest in chi com anything.

[Mr. Anthony]

What sucks is that I LOVE the Olympics, or really seeing any humans do things at the highest level. It's incredible.

But I've really soured on the Olympic experience lately. Will likely watch zero of the Winter Games.

So much respect for all those athletes who train so hard to reach the pinnacle of their sport.

Sucks that the experience has gotten so crappy.

[IANative]

But I have little interest in most of the sports...

The only "pro sport" I watch any more is rodeo. Stand for the anthem, say a prayer, and watch hard men compete in hard events and only get paid when they excel against their peers and the stock.

Oh, and fuck communism on this side of the pond or that.

[WOLF220]

The olympics? Didn’t they used to make low end ARs? No...wait...FUCK CHINA! And FUCK joe biden

Ratings for Beijing Olympics tank; 2022 opening ceremony hit all-time low in TV viewership

Thus far, the 2022 Beijing Olympics have been an absolute flop. The ratings for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics hit all-time lows.

On Saturday, NBC Sports revealed that Friday’s full-day opening ceremony coverage averaged "nearly 14 million TV-only viewers."

The viewership plunged 43% from the opening ceremony for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, which had 23.8 million people watching the international sporting event.

"The previous low over the last three decades was the 1992 Barcelona games, which had 21.6 million viewers," noted The Wrap which added, "The high watermark for an opening ceremony was the London Games in 2012, when more than 40 million tuned into NBC’s tape-delayed coverage."
Deadline reported, "A paltry 8.7 million tuned in on NBC in primetime see the pre-taped Mike Tirico and Savannah Guthrie-led coverage of the propaganda-heavy spectacle put on by Chinese President Xi Jinping and filmmaker Zhang Yimou."

The coveted advertising demographic of adults ages 18-49 averaged only a 1.2 rating, plunging 68% from 2018 (3.7) and plummeting 80% from 2014 (6.0), Sports Media Watch reported, adding, "The rating in adults 18-34 was a mere 0.7, down 73% from ’18 (2.6)."

The disastrous ratings are crippling news for NBCUniversal. In 2014, NBCUniversal paid a whopping $7.75 billion to the International Olympic Committee for the broadcast rights to the Olympic Games from 2021 through 2032. "The deal covers six Olympics, from 2021 to 2032, and gives NBC rights to all media platforms including TV, internet and mobile," according to USA Today. Previously, NBC paid $4.4 billion for four Olympics between 2011 and 2020.

A Morning Consult poll taken a week before the Beijing Olympics asked more than 2,000 American adults why they wouldn't be watching the 2022 Winter Games.

The most common reasons people gave as to why they weren't watching the Beijing Games was a lack of interest in the events (65%) and no interest in the athletes (57%).

There was 40% of Americans who said they weren't watching the Winter Olympics is because it was hosted by China.

Of the people polled, 57% of Democrats said they planned to watch some of the Beijing Olympics, compared to 40% of Republicans and 35% of independents.

Many conservatives are boycotting the
Beijing Olympics over China's human rights record. On Twitter, the hashtag #GenocideGames has trended in recent days in reference to the Chinese Communist Party's abuse of Uyghurs, which includes a reported million Muslim ethnic minorities in Xinjiang internment camps.

[Brent Yamamoto]

Well, isn’t that a damn shame.

[Brent Yamamoto]

I do agree with Anthony. I respect the dedication and hard work it took for the athletes just to get there. I like the idea of the olympics.

But…where to begin. So much of the stuff related to sporting events, media, politics…

Get off my lawn kinda sums it up and is the most benign way I can put it.

[Gabriel Suarez]

Fuck China
Fuck Joe Biden
Fuck anyone who voted for him

Nobody gives a crap about the Ukraine
Nobody gives a crap about anything Fauci or the WHO says
And soon...nobody will give a crap about new laws or anything the other side says or wants.

Make no mistake...it is becoming clear that every bad thing that is befalling the USA is Chicom orchestrated. And soon, I expect, things will go as brother Greg notes..."Kinetic".

[paranoid]

Let’s see if the genocide games bring another scamdemic along with election shenanigans.

We”ll know within a few weeks… If another plandemic kicks off we”ll know why…

It worked for them once and I wouldn’t put it past them to try it again.

[Vlad the Impaler]

The Olympics have sucked for decades. I blame Reagan.

Cold War Olympics were awesome. We won gold! Take that you commie bastards! It also provided some interesting drinking games. Drink every time you see an Adam's apple on a female East German gymnast.

Then Reagan had to go win the Cold War and fuck up the Olympics.

[Dorkface]

So a dumb bitch from california renouced her citizenship to skate for china and money fell for the second time on the ice from what I heard on the radio. Bet after the games are over she goes to a forced labor camp...

I happened to see that last night. They were talking about this athlete with Chinese parents who was born in America, but gave up her citizenship to skate for China. Saw her fall down twice. Warmed my heart to see a commie bite it.

[Herbert West]

I have not watched the olympics in -/+ 20 years or more, or any sport really.

[Brent Yamamoto]

I heard there was an American-born snowboarder (one parent American, the other Chinese), that decided to compete for China. I wonder how many more there might be.

I'm going to guess there was some under the table financial compensation from the PRC.

Another thing is he may not have qualified in the us.... After 96 Olympics they had a couple Canadian dual citizens come over the the US hockey program because they were talking about LA again in 2000. That could be the reason... Plus at that time our Jr teams were getting better then theirs....

Sounds like all the injuries are happening in capitalist democracies....or so says the reporting of the parent company of MSLSD... (or is it MSDNC?)

The left must be so happy...

[Dorkface]

Its also weird how all the non commies are being disqualified, coming down with covid and basically starved in "quarantine" and more that just happens to always end with china winning.
