Lowest Olympic ratings ever.
Yeah, I don't know why they awarded the 2028 games to the US.
Most Americans don't give a shit so they should have given it to a country which appreciates it.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

this video is the sum total of my Olympics related viewing so far

:lol: That was excellent :clap:
Brits actually know and appreciate the game of football (soccer), which makes that take down all the better.

It's had to cheer for your nation when you feel the athletes are not from your tribe, but some aliens who hate the country you hold dear.

indeed, I take a scorched earth approach

any institution that caves to the Woke is lost to the Communists, so burn it to the ground

I wouldn't have any sports that can't be measured with a stopwatch, tape measure or some other kind of objective measurement.
If you need a panel of judges to decide who wins it's more of an art than a sport IMO.
Agreed.
Gymnastics and Figure Skating a dog shows.
There's loads of them. Synchronised swimming and dressage are a couple of the worst ones.
The Olympic motto is faster, higher, stronger.
There's no mention of prettier, sleeker, more stylish.

The Olympics have been shitty for a while, now it's just about lampooning. Black Rifle Coffee Company thought it would be cool to get in bed with the NYTimes crowd, Friday they did an interview trying to tell all their customers why they didn't read what they thought they read.

Go Woke, Go Broke is a great thing. Totally voluntary, completely unorganized, but people passionately pull support from anyone even flirting with the woke. I love it.

I don't know if female gymnastics are still 13 year old girls, but I always thought that whole thing was a little creepy.

no exceptions, I've even dropped the Toronto Maple Leafs for going Woke

I've gone from life long sports fanatic to almost not watching sports at all, in a matter of months

No, the minimum age for Olympic gymnasts has been 16 since 1997.
The Russians used to brutalise the younger girls with their sadistic training regimes and too many of them were getting crippled.

Same.
I was a huge American Football fan from age 6. But I can't even watch it anymore. I might watch some highlights now and then, but the product is dead to me.

BONUS I got back a lot of time to do more meaningful things.

it's not even a question of having to swear off of these things

I find the Woke to be repulsive like child rapists are repulsive

I would gladly firebomb them into the stone age like Smitty LeMay on the Tokyo run
