resurrected Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Cancel them. I went to a baseball game during the 96 Olympics. Haven't watched anything from them since. Watched the U.S. beat Nicaragua 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainyDayJizz#35 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Make them every ten years so all the athletes only have one shot in their life to be at a peak. And all in the same year again so it's like a real event. A year long festival is better than not a year long festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) It's been hard for me to give a fuck about the Olympics ever so I really don't care. Skateboarding since I've pushed it in all the local sectors I've been in was something that seemed exciting to see featured in the olympics.. All I know is I still didn't tune in or care enough to mark that shit in my planner. I don't live in ancient Greece. Fuck the Olympics. Just a personal opinion of course I get that it provides an important international/worldwide diplomatic function in a way these days.

You know how in boxing there are weight classes? Women's gymnastics needs age classes. It's pretty dumb to me that most women over the age of 17 have almost zilch chance of winning anything. Also you can't fool me China, those children are 8 years old. Don't repeat broadcasts. If the olympics are broadcast 24/7 why do we only get to watch a few events because an entire day's worth of one event is broadcast over the course of several afternoons and then repeated again that night when the olympics are an all day thing? There's a shit ton of events and we only get a small chunk of them because they repeat shit they've already shown. Marijuana is not a PED. Unless guitar playing is an olympic sport. Hey, there's an idea... There needs to be more incentive for American baseball's best to play in the Olympics. They never do, because they have concurrent obligations with MLB, and they pay more. This results in the country that invented baseball to perpetually have sub-par teams. You know the dream-teams in basketball? That sure as fuck ain't ever happening in baseball.

I don't sending players to them because they could potentially risk injury especially if said team is in the midst of a playoff push which has happened. It always comes down to the same goddamn countries in finals. And the countries don't make it are usually getting blown out really bad by the stronger teams. I'd rather watch paint dry than watch Olympics hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid hockey games on Sega were the shit so when Olympic hockey came on I knew a lot of the players cause like three came from the Red Wings.

The USIOC didn't allow paid pros in the Olympics. That's why the '84 "Miracle On Ice" was so cool. The USSR pretty much used the cream of the Russian Red Army team (being paid as 'soldiers') and the US fielded a bunch of (at the time) nobody kids who only hoped to play in the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people like college football cause they make mistakes and you can see the talent coming up take advantage of it, sometimes regularly. Seeing professionals compete in sports just took everything special out of the Olympics. And now the Olympics is like a fucking termite chewing up economies every two years.

bnmjy Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Have all of them held in Switzerland. Setting the games up is a waste of time and money and invovles so much political leveraging. Switzerland prides itself on neutrality, has shit tons of money, and has the perfect climate and terrain for both the summer and winter games.
