I enjoyed the last Winter Olympics and absolutely consumed/loved the Summer Olympics last year, but I don’t give two shits about these Olympics, and it’s not for any reason I can put my finger on. The China stuff doesn’t move me, because a few human rights abuses is nothing compared to COVID-19 and how they own our politicians.

Countries like China and Russia still think by winning a bunch of medals makes them look powerful to the rest of the world. Unfortunately they have to cheat to do it.


Are you suggesting that we don't cheat as well?

I remember that as well. Weren’t tourists getting mugged at a high rate during these Olympics?

They can’t even keep the doors closed on the “Made in China” rink in the Czech-ROC game.
These should only be held in some quaint village in the Alps.

Least spectators I have seen in last 50 years. and it's that way at every event. Couple hundred max at the figure skating. Hope Xi loses his arse hosting.

and then the one city that wasn't in Asia was an absolute shite show in Rio De Janeiro 16'.


Vancover (2010) and London (2012) aren't in Asia either though.

Not only the Olympics being in backwoods places on the other side of the globe, we've also been subject to the other major 4 year event (World Cup) being in Kangaroo countries the last 12+ years -- South Africa, Brazil, Russia and Qatar this year


Both of theses describe U.S. as well
