Have You Avoided the Olympics Because of Anti-American US Athletes?
 
Here's an American medalist who is proud to represent her country....in taekwondo, no less.



At least watch the very end, to see a master class on how an Olympian should conduct herself.



:flag:


Note NBC cut off the rest, because apparently holding our flag over her head is offensive to someone. :mad:

I refuse to watch ANYTHING on NBC.

VatorMan 07-25-2021 7:38pm

Yes. It’s a shotgun approach which I hate, but there’s no list of positive American athletes.

Just fast forward to the last minute of the video......trust me, it's worth it.

Yep avoiding 90%of it, I flip channels to it on occasion. Watched some rowing and sync diving. Usually I'd watch most of it.

Have not watched a single minute of it. I heard this morning that the ratings are in the tank. Hope NBC looses their ass on this

Dan Dlabay 07-25-2021 8:31pm

Just like the NFL, NBA and MLB I will not watch anything that has those un American jack asses on it.:cert:

Norm 07-25-2021 8:37pm

Haven't watched for years, probably not now or in the future, don't care.

Aerovette 07-25-2021 9:25pm

I have avoided them because of the anti-American Americans, yes. Also because of the rules allowing trans to compete in their chosen sex, AND because the chick that smoked pot weeks before competing was tossed while the Anti-Americans go unchecked.

Basically it is an American cluster ****. How bad is it when EVERY OTHER country makes us look like shit?

Thunder22 07-25-2021 9:35pm

Not avoiding it, just have zero interest.

I heard they put the US/France basketball games on Peacock, seemed to piss off a lot of people.

I watched some swimming yesterday at a restaurant, but haven’t watched at home. I don’t care to see athletes disgrace our country looking for attention like little children.

:iagree:

Avoiding NBC. Their advertising over the last couple months has been totally annoying.

TripleBlack 07-25-2021 11:24pm

Not a single second on my TV and have been able to completely ignore while in restaurants.

Anjdog2003 07-25-2021 11:49pm

Go Madagascar

Yes.

6spdC6 07-26-2021 6:42am

I gave up on that bullshit years ago. About the only thing I see a little of is if it shows up as I'm watching the news.

bsmith 07-26-2021 6:50am

I lost interest in the Olympic a long time ago.

On occasion I will watch some of the winter Olympics.
