To: Huskrrrr
The whole thing is an exaggerated yawn. No one is watching, no one cares. Who wants to root for athletes that trash American and even drag the American flag around on the ground. Disgraceful.

The only earth shattering thing I’ve read is they managed to trash their own VP over sexual deviancy issues.
To: Huskrrrr
But I notice they all have high self-esteem, so there’s that.

At last count, Russia has the same number of medals as the US. And Russia isn’t even officially at the Olympics this year.

Maybe they should concentrate on winning instead of making social & political statements.
To: Theoria
Yep. The Westminster Dog Show was better than the Olympics.
To: Huskrrrr
Few care about the Olympics today.

Nobody cares.Nope. I haven't watched a minute of these Olympics and from the looks of the poor ratings, appears neither have too many other people.

I don’t know why I feel a touch of schadenfreude about that. How did Adam Dickon do?

Wow.
I wonder how many Freepers buy the “rank and file FBI” guys are a-ok, but ridicule Olympians who DON’T get $100,000 per year, Cadillac health Insurance, and early retirement, from the fedgov?

Cheer up there’s always the LGBTQ.../ anti-Trump’ers Olympics they can be champions in. Throw in some nudity for NBC’s sake and all isn’t well just like they prefer.
