With all the bad mouthing of Trump and racist remarks by the athletes, I’m done with the Olympics. Haven’t watched any of it. Don’t care who gets medals. They’ve gone the way of the NFL.

Yep . . it’s not “Black History” unless it’s “Real History”

“That’s why the coverage is about 10% sports and 90% “special interest stories” that are designed to capture an American female TV audience.”

Yep. Which is why my time with the Olympics is extremely limited, if I watch at all.

Too bad because if they did it right they wouldn’t have to worry about their return on investment. They should have learned from ABC, and how they avoided disaster by airing the Wide World of Sports.

But history smacks of the ‘patriarchy’, so they ignore it.

It’s the same with all sports, especially the NFL, they’ve tried to cater their presentation to the female audience.

The ancient Egyptians were Hamites related to the Berbers and Cushtic peoples, not Arabs who were Semites.

Adding politics to a thing cannot help but destroy the thing no matter how seemingly bulletproof the thing is.
