I haven't seen a minute of the olympics and don't plan too.

A man of vision but with no mission.
The less who watch the less money they make. Stop watching and their sponsorship will dwindle they will then perhaps re think what the FK they are doing. Personally I don't care what they do. They have gone Woke right down to the so called athletes accepting sponsorship deals with Woke companies. They were already full of gay men and pushed that agenda and now transgenders.
Wife and I finally broke down and watched a little, mostly highlights.
We had Peacock anyway, so it's front and center.
I will give them this: the multiview feature is cool. Opens four screens with various events, you can select one and watch full screen.
Again, just the parts that the media shoves down our throats.
Correction. F'n media has gone evil (er)

Interesting. I have Peacock and the Olympics are supposed to be front and center. But I can't find any Olympics on Peacock Plus as it's presented to me by my Fire TV cube.
Bread and Circus.
All a distraction from the events at hand.
"Bread and circuses" (or bread and games; from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metonymic phrase referring to superficial appeasement. It is attributed to Juvenal (Satires, Satire X), a Roman poet active in the late first and early second century AD, and is used commonly in cultural, particularly political, contexts.
In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction, or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace, by offering a palliative: for example food (bread) or entertainment (circuses). Juvenal originally used it to decry the "selfishness" of common people and their neglect of wider concerns. The phrase implies a population's erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority.

Same. My wife said a couple of days ago "this is like the U.N. of sports, why the hell do we need them?"
I love my wife.

Classic French taunting seems appropriate for the Paris Olympics...

What's been said? Are Japanese citizens a source? Is it rude Americans? Maybe leftists, bored now that Joe stepped down?
It mentioned incidents from prior Olympics, so this is not new?
