Haven't seen any post about this. The youth of the world gathers to compete. We have been watching every night.
I had a season pass to Aspen Mountain hanging around my neack for two years in the 80's and i came to appreciate good skiers. Nice to see the kids of today at their best.

It's pretty amazing! My 11 year old daughter asked last night if she "had" to watch with us. Um, yea. you do...this only happens once every four years and these are the best our country has to offer in their respective sports. I get that someone in Korea is not hearing me cheer for them but damn if I'm not still going to cheer...

I have always enjoyed watching and supporting our athletes. I still feel a great sense of pride for those competing representing our country.

Snowboarding half pipe is very exciting to watch. Also enjoy the luge (spelling) and downhill skiing."I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."

I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.1 -
I'm happy y'all are enjoying it all but I don't want to watch. I'm fast forwarding through any of it I can. And, so much politics involved. The media is spinning hard like those ice skaters do. The athletes are politicizing too. Be glad when it's over.0

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the gold medal winning snowboarder drag the American flag on the ground and inadvertantly step on it. Social medai wents nuts, as it should.

I try to keep myself apart the political. Politics makes sane folks crazy.I cheer on the Olympic Champions no matter witch country they come from. I just enjoy the best of the best going heads on in competiton that raises the bar for all of us. Most of the folks that i know that are aligned politicaly are unhappy and pissed off. Life is to short for that bullshit.5

NBC, it is official. The worst olympics coverage in history.
What do you expect, their highest rated show is "the view"0 -

He stated that it was an accident. At the same time it is OK for NFL players to not stand for the National Anthem which is part of displaying our flag?Logistics cannot win a war, but its absence or inadequacy can cause defeat. FM100-52 -
I'm old school whe it comes to the flag. I don't think the athletes need to be wearing it as a cape during victory celebrations or otherwise disregarding "the code" but it has become a tradition. And now you say those pot-head snowboarders are dragging it around? It keeps getting worser and worser.1

This is exactly why I haven't tuned in. Sick and tired of mainstream, brain dead sports jocks who get paid millions of dollars while our troops risk their lives and make 5 figures. To hell with them. Ok...I've got it out of my system. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.“Happiness?

Just learned that a gold medal earns $35,700 and a bronze gets $15,000 and a silver is somewhere in between.0

Sadly it has been a poor showing for Team USA so far.
