“Does anyone really care about the Winter games?”

I do. I love watching the winter Olympics. I like them better than the summer Olympics, although I like them both. I love watching the competition within countries, and seeing our guys come out on top as often as possible. And I appreciate those from other countries that win too, because they have done their individual best.

I am so tired of the Olympics being used as a political pawn. It makes me psychologically ill when that happens. Can’t anyone just leave the Olympics alone to be enjoyed for the show of physical prowess by people who have spent a great part of their lives achieving excellence in their given sport. Again, I love the Olympics, and will be watching the various events with great enthusiasm. Go U.S.!!!

I’m with you. I love the pageantry, the ceremonies and traditions, and I love seeing Team USA win gold medals. When they show our athletes on the podium, with our flag being raised and the Star-Spangled Banner playing....it makes me forget the mess we’re in and fans the flames of patriotism in me.
