One less reason to watch.

The word "Olympics" seems to have lost its symbolism.

I'm still holding out for marbles

I'm still holding out for marbles

Me too. I've been turning down offers to go pro, because I don't want to hurt my eligibility for the Olympics.

I am holding out for snow shoveling. After this January, I am sure I would be nationally ranked

I prefer Loogie Hocking.

Even as a heavy metal guy, I learned to breakdance when I was kid.

I watched some swimming several Olympics ago.

For the most part it's NOT good TV.

The real Olympics are the winter Olympics...

The summer Olympics are boring...

I gave up on the summer Olympics when the added speed walking, just dumb.

Also, basketball should be removed from the summer Olympics. No sport should be an Olympic sport when no other country stands a realistic shot at winning Gold or move it to the winter Olympics. And no baseball, really ...

Also, the Olympics are run by Europeans who have no interest in our input from NA.

The Olympics are also in trouble, less and fewer countries are bidding on the Olympics...to costly.

Beats some of the sports they have, wonder how they'll judge it? Have some compulsories that must be executed and then some free form based on degree of difficulty? I would watch it as my older son was pretty good at that when that was a thing. I tried it and wondered what I might break if I continued trying and that spin on top of the head was out.

I am not a summer Olympics fan because I prefer the winter Olympics where there is the risk involved. Downhill skiers at 80mph, half-pipe boarders with triples with triple twists, free style skiing and boarding and curlers knocking their 16oz PBR over and waking up the spectator.

You should volunteer your house as a practice facility for young snow shovellers.

The furthest I got to was the moonwalk!

I've still got my shooter marble.

Let the other countries go into hock to build the venues.

We have most of them pre built here.

Good point.

 

[Longboysfan]

Good point.

Most of the previous Olympic venues in other countries are not in use after the games.
Left to rot.

And check out how the people that needed the help fared after the games left. It's a travesty how they are treated before and how they do not benefit afterwards.

They tore down their neighborhoods and left nothing of value to use after.

Whats next? Lawn darts, beer pong?

Yes, and if they ever add a farting category I will be bringing home the gold.
