The Lafayette trampoline athletes compete in August.

I've been seeing posts about basketball games.

Allowing Simone biles on the team after the shite she pulled last Olympics and I'm not watching. Dead event to me.

When the athletes representing America hate America, I don't watch. In fact, I root for the other team.


This is sad and pathetic. Stick to little league baseball.

I’m annoyed that she made her own Simone biles pins to hand out. Apparently the athletes trade country pins, but she just gives out her own individual ones.

Maybe I was wrong about her husband and they are a perfect match.

The vast majority of the athletes do no such thing. If people were so exhausted from politics, you would think they wouldn't focus on the small handful that make political statements, but for some reason, they choose to ignore the literal hundreds of athletes that just go to compete and focus solely on the handful. Weird.


Lulz at you. I guess you enjoyed the big gay opening ceremonies.

Don’t we also already know who is going to win many of the events?

They televised the trials for track and field, for example. Those times are usually pretty accurate to how well they’ll do in the Olympics. Outside of a few (small) dramatic moments, you can already tell who to bet on.


If this were remotely true then you should make millions betting on the Olympics. There are several sports I follow very closely (like the various cycling disciplines) and there is not a single one out of dozens of events I would bet my house on.

Just out of curiosity since you have the crystal ball will Noah Lyles pull the double or not? If not who wins those events?

Do you think Krajewski, Billys, or Smith can win gold in Eventing? I think it would be really cool if one of them does.
