I forgot there was some soccer in there. Iāll probably catch some of that if itās convenient
Peak Olympic caring requires a Cold War.
Itās U-23 teams for the men. The Euros, or even Copa America, earlier this summer was a much better tournament. But itās the regular womenās teams. Itāll be interesting to see US women with Emma Hayes coaching. But thereās only so much she can do, especially only being in the job a couple of months. This team has a lot of real limitations.
Agreed on the flop of a campaign. He didn't qualify, but won gold in the next Olympics.
...or was it a flop of a campaign? People remember these guys over 30 years later. In that respect, it was a huge success.
Why wasnāt this in the YouTube thread? Iāll have to add that to the que
If I watch it on tv itāll be because itās on while Iām at a restaurant or bar.
Nothing against the Olympics, I just am not a fan of television.
As the old joke goes, television is a medium because itās neither rare nor well done. ($1 to Ernie Kovacs)

I wondered if people watched. I don't give a crap about it. Break dancing is a sport now? Is it 1983? I can't take the Olympics seriously when they debate that real sports shouldn't be in the Olympics.
France wouldn't allow fighting of any sort in their country, messes up the ruffled shirts they wear
I believe flag football is being added for the LA Olympics as a demonstration sport. Theres a ton of NFL guys that have said they will play.
A damned shame from a country that produced Charles the Hammer, his grandson Charlemagne, Willam the Conqueror (Viking Blood Though) & Lafayette. If not for France we'd have Qurans instead of Bibles and still paying taxes to England.
One of the Sunday morning news shows had a segment a few weeks ago and from the sound of things Qurans have become very commonplace in France. Islam is the now the 2nd largest religion there behind only Catholicism and makes up 10% of the population or almost 7 million people.
Parts of Paris and other areas of France are labeled "No Go Zones" by police due to their stupid immigration policies. Violent Caliphates Rule Them and the cops just keep out.
A good bit of it. Likely will be what's on the "big TV" for the next 2 weeks either actively or passively watching.
Big T&F guy. 4X4 is one of my favorite things in sports.
Watched the swimming trials a few weeks back and had forgotten how exciting it is. I can't imagine the arm, leg and lung burn being chased down or chasing to touch the wall. The Phelps finger touch picture is an all time great. Track in water.
As someone said, badminton and ping pong are things I'd guess most of us have played but we didn't play that. Amazing to watch.
I'll watch gymnastics and Biles but can't say "judged" events are my favorite thing.
Probably not a lot of basketball or soccer (I couldn't resist)
