Short answer is, yes. I avoid it for that reason and that reason only.

Lots of news stories - but not from NBC, imagine that - about how the TV ratings have plummeted this year. The opening ceremony had the lowest rating in over 30 years. People are fed up.
In a related sports story, Cameron Champ won the PGA event yesterday. NBC fawned all over him because he's "one of the few black golfers on the PGA tour." Yeah, he's black. . |

I am under the assumption that, like the general population, those showing their ass is only about 1% of the total. I really don't know. I think it is a shame that some have.
' I don't watch because I have lost all interest in any kind of competition. Don't know why. |

Simon Bikes and other Americans who are not pushing an agenda deserve our support.
I have turned off soccer and basketball because of their political bullshit. |

It would be interesting to see if one station carried non woke Olympic sports and advertised as such. Wonder what the rating differences would be ?

I don't watch the Olympics only the curling. By far the most talented athlete's in the world.
Do they have curling in the Summer Olympics? |

The good soccer right now is Gold Cup, so no Olympics. |

Apparently if you're 1/4 black, you're completely black but if you're 1/2 Asian you're not Asian. Weird... |

Note: That only applies to folks being partially black, not any other combo mix. Is it right? Wrong? Who knows, but it's just the way it has always been. I agree it's a strange way to view things. |

She identifies with criminals, going as far as intimating that they're all part of the same group, even though nothing could be further from the truth. Biles, who worked hard and rose to prominence through meritocracy, has nothing in common with the people she expresses such familiarity with, but she chooses to be tribalistic......having matching skin colors makes them all homies, I guess. When I see white criminals and thugs, I don't see any kind of familiarity with them. I don't feel any connection to them. Biles has chosen....another way. Simone is down with the blm cause. Sorry to disappoint. That doesn't take anything away from her athletic accomplishments...she's a genuine super star. |
