No reason to watch. You have transgender weightlifters, the actual best athletes sitting out and not competing, limited fans, it's a disaster. The Olympics is no longer the best athletes in the world fighting for their country. It's a TV spectacle of leftovers and a few top athletes. Add in all the abuse and cheating that has been caused by this and it's pathetic.

Still not a reason for me to set a reminder. Love Justin Thomas, but I'm just not down with what the Olympics stand for anymore. Haven't looked at the competition, but I know it's not always the best competition.

On another note, how can you root for a LeBron James type athlete (I get he's not playing as he's more concerned with Space Jam), when all he does is dog the country? Just doesn't do it for me anymore.
 
Come on, there’s a trans weight lifter from New Zealand lifting in the women’s division. And a trans Japanese soccer player (she is still playing with the women’s team as far as I’ve heard. Interesting that everyone wants to play on the women’s side rather than men’s…) I think when these athletes state that they will go by the pronouns they, them and their, then they can pick which gender to compete in. And they all pick women’s events…

I keep waiting for the first offensive lineman who's called for being downfield to tell the ref that he identifies as an H-back.

There's also a trans BMX alternate for the US who posted on Facebook the intent of getting on the podium and burning the flag. Loaded there, eh?

It's multi-sports event with me. I wasn't going to watch basketball but that's as much of a lack of interest in its athletes as it is it's a competition I don't that that intriguing: to a sense, like track and field won't hold my attention on TV. There are events I'll simply avoid.

Watching a good golf match? Yeah, I'm there.
 
I'll watch some of it, but I absolutely admit that that the Olympics has lost a lot it's luster with me over the years with the corrupt officials and the woke politics that have bled into it. As others have mentioned, if I tune in and start getting preached to about how awful of a human I am, I'll find something else to watch. And as much as I love my country and take pride in seeing our athletes win all of the golds... when I see some of these athletes that are there just to make a spectacle and act offended by the US flag they wear, I'll hope they fail in the most spectacular way possible on the world's largest stage.
 
I’ll watch! I’ll turn to other channels should they start showing transgender, but I will be like @OldPlayer and look for those world records to be broken on the track or in the pool, especially if it is a US athlete. I’ll be looking for those with UA ties as well.
 
Here we go. And here I was thinking the Olympics were so we could compete for our country against other countries. Why even compete if you're her? Oh yeah, Team Me.

Berry turns from flag, felt anthem timing 'a setup'

After finishing third at trials and qualifying for her second Olympics, hammer thrower Gwen Berry turned away from the flag while the anthem played before the start of Saturday's evening session. She found the timing to be no matter of coincidence.

Can we trade her to the North Koreans?
