    As soon as politics were introduced to sports, I stopped following.

    For me, I stopped even before politics entered the fray.

    After being a fan during the late 70s and throughout the 80s, I gave up the NFL when it became apparent that it was the National Felon's League. Gave up MLB after the strike. Stopped watching the NBA after Jordan left because the league became a bunch of spoiled crybabies playing in a dummied down game. Politics in sports became just another nail in the coffin. The Olympics is just another sports entity that has gone to shit.

    Especially now that we’ve got The Boy…if I’m spending an entire Sunday watching people on TV who hate America chase a ball around, I’m doing something wrong.

    I’d rather read him a story.

    Japan has another crisis with COVID-19, probably won't allow spectators. I don't see supporting anyone who represents the country and disrespecting the National Anthem. Let them represent their other country that they love!

    Not where you are
    This is Texas GUN Talk. Isn't there anyone here who will watch the shooting sports at the Olympics? At least?

    Nope
    Wont be partaking of any olympics. Pretty sure you wont see any of those events requiring something as evil and non pc as firearms televised anyway.

    As for athletes and US team
    If you go represent yourself and your country dont make it a platform to “make a statement”.

    Go be a proud AMERICAN or stay the fauck HOME and be the POS you are all the time NOT just when its an opportunity.

    A shooter (gal) won the first gold medal at the last summer olympics.

    All she got was ridicule from the left in pretty much every social media outlet, and very little mainstream press.

    There's a lot of history bound up in that. Traditionally, the first medal at every Summer Games is for shooting. But that's a discussion for another day.
    I can't recall that they have ever televised any of the Olympic shooting sports.
    When the events get closer, I'll start a "How to Watch Olympic Shooting" thread.

    What kills me is the fact these athletes receive a "lot" of money from companies and contributors, then they turn around and criticize the very country that gave them the opportunity to be there in the first place. America's Women's Olympic Soccer team is another example. The girl with the loudest mouth makes a few hundred thousand a year in benefits. She flies first class everywhere she goes and she gets a lot of other benefits. Oh me, I guess I need to get back to my routine job and just feel sorry for her in quiet.
