the olympics survey

[Old_Me]

i just did the quick MSN home page survey on the upcoming olympics..

i gotta say, nearly all others basically said, NO to every question, meaning, that the olympics are not nearly as popular to watch, as they were back in the "olden days", when it was less commercialized, and you had to stay up super late to watch the events LIVE.

i can honestly say, the mrs and i have not watched the games in years.

heck, we don't know who won gold medals for the USA since maybe Mark Spitz..???

and that goes back to 1972..??? when the terrorists attacked the Israelis..???

those most likely were the last time we saw the games.

i kid you not.

The wife keeps up with the equestrian events and we probably will watch some of the track and field stuff, but other than that it’s not something that keeps our interest.

 

[TEXASforLIFE]

it got worse when it wasn't an armature/nonprofessional sport! when professionals were able to join it became pointless

 

[Old_Me]

the wife and i have more enjoyment watching the "Special Olympics"..those kids work thier hearts out

 

[belladonna]

We don't watch them. Haven't for years. You get highlights on the news if you want them. @Old_Me pegged it, too commercialized.

 

[mikep]

i used to watch them, particularly the swimming in summer and skiing in winter. i lost interest when they allowed pros into the games. then the woke stuff filtered in and then the general anti-americanism crept in. then, bob costas became a left-wing megaphone. now i make it a point to not watch.

I doubt I will watch any of them, I can’t support anyone who takes a knee during our national anthem, that’s the reason I don’t watch NFL games either, to me these so called athletes who do this are traitors in my eye, sorry, just me.

Bless ya man, I fully agree. Overpaid prima donnas who think the world revolves around Them. I quit watching pro “sports” decades ago

The only thing I have any interest in are the shooting sports. But that don't fit MSM's agenda, so they pretty much get ignored. They won't show them and won't even mention shooting unless an American wins a medal.
Trap and skeet are cool to watch as you get to actually see the clays get hit. But even I have to admit that sitting there watching other people punch holes in paper is kinda boring.
The final medal count is all that interests me.

I used to like watching the weight lifting and very much liked the bobsled events. I also haven't watched for many years now.

I might look at some women’s gymnastics if it happens to be on the screen

Other than that, no interest

 

[mikep]

another part of the reason i don't take much interest. stupid stuff like this... snoop dog carrying the olympic torch. why? he's not an athlete or former athlete. he's a rapper, with questionable ties in california, who smokes an unimaginable amount of pot. probably not the best image for the olympics. maybe they could have found student athletes from local high schools who would have really appreciated this opportunity? nope... that wouldn't sell as much advertising as snoop dog.

Snoop Dogg is seemingly everywhere during the Paris Olympics, but on Friday morning you could catch him carrying the Olympic torch.
