I haven’t really cared about the Olympics for the past 10-20 years. I could really give a ■■■■now about how the Divided States of America do in the Olympics.
I don’t usually watch the Winter Olympics- just snippets from athletes if I happen to land on the channel when it’s on, but not the opening ceremony or anything.
The Olympics are supposed to build comradery between countries, improve relations through good sportsmanship. However, it seems even that is overshadowed with politics. Perhaps not unnecessarily.
I have never done anything that glorifies the PRC, nor participated in their attempts at self-glorification. And this is what this is, shameless self-glorification by the regime that I will not be a participant in.
I won’t be watching the Super Bowl, as it is on NBC during the continuance of the Olympics. Not that it matters, I have not watched a full game of either college or professional football this season.
I hold the IOC in contempt for allowing China to host the Olympics, but I’m going to watch and root for our athletes. I enjoyed seeing our women’s hockey team destroy the fake Russian team today. I will be avoiding as much propaganda as possible, like the opening and closing ceremonies.
