Grew up with Squaw Valley, Lake Placid, bobsledding, curling and Canadian hockey. The Winter Olympics showed the world that Canada rocked. Never supported athletic boycotts but this year is different. The only athletes who should win a gold medal this year are the TRUCKERS. They went uphill, did a triple lutz and landed in truckistan with a perfect 10

The Olympics have been ruined like everything else by politics, social justice agendas, and the media. Crying shame that an athlete with a dream just can't go compete.

I plan to watch a total of zero minutes.

Almost hate to say it but you hit the nail on the head. I didn't watch a minute of the Australian Open, a first in decades, and I will not watch a minute of the 2022 Winter Olympics.

No plans to watch any part of this disgusting circus. Maybe they will seed the world with a new pandemic. Finish us off.

I did not watch the summer Olympics and will not watch this one. Alex hits the point head on. These games are Communist/globalist celebrations now. I pass.

Used to love the Olympics. Now it just reminds me of the likes of Johnny Weir, BLM, the damn Chinese, corporate SJWs, trans freaks, and the corrupt/weakdick western governments.

I was interested in watching the skiing. For one reason, I wanted to see what a Chinese ski area looks like…. But then I see this video on Tucker. American born skier competes for China. https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/american-born-skier-competing-for-china-in-beijing-olympics/ Spoiler alert it is not Mikaela Shiffrin. She has a Red Bull endorsement so she must be capable. It is just plain gross, I don’t have any time for this crap. Along with Queen Nancy saying you athletes better be careful what you say over there. Really!

There is zero reason for the USA to compete on Chinese soil for anything. The hypocrite athletes will bow to the CCP in silence, while literal labor camps and genocide are happening down the street from the arenas, then come back to the USA and cry about there idiotic woke grievances every chance they get. Screw this charade, I’d rather watch my grass grow.

Well, it won't be on at my house, and that sentiment is shared by many of my friends (and, I suspect many other informed Americans). All for the same reason; why would anyone support a host country that unleashed misery and death on the rest of the world, then lied about it, while continuing to perpetrate it and many other evils on its own people and the world? Wake up people! This is the easiest, most non sacrificial contribution you can make to support good in the world, and resist evil. Just don't watch.

as a partipant in 3 Olympic Games, and still working with Olympic caliber athletes, the decline of the games into corporate corrupt spectacle is almost as much a shame as the decline of our healthcare system into a corporate corrupt spectacle. talent of any kind deserves an opportunity to shine, but this is not it 🙄

Michael Senger's book Snake Oil makes a great case how China is using Covid to destroy Western Values.

I hope the ratings are disastrous. And I won’t be helping out either by reading news coverage. My personal boycott if you will.

My spare time is governed in large part by the rule that if something goes woke let it go broke. It is very easy to to imagine what Pelosi or her predecessors in appeasement would have said about the Berlin Olympics in 1936 and the murder of Israeli athletes in Munich in 1972

Nothing is genuine or virtuous anymore. Amazing how much of everything I distrust now.

I'm a millennial but nonetheless I'll continue with black & white classics of yesteryear.

I'm already NOT watching, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

This makes me sick. And sad. I grew up watching the Olympics- mostly inspired by my now 89 year old father who loved them (and still does).

It’s about the athletes to people like my dad and me, but I know it’s a much bigger and political thing to the world. Why we’re supporting China, sending our athletes there and ignoring the reality, which is horrific on multiple levels, is beyond me. The world is a f—-ed up place.

Not sure why I ever cared about the winter Olympics in the first place. If I don't watch slalom races or speed skating regularly, why did I ever care to watch every four years? I think I was.programmed.

Not interested. No way. RESIST..!!

If I hadn't read it in this Substack, I honestly would not have even realized the Olympics start today.

Some other network should show the 1980 U.S./Russia game on a loop. I bet it would draw more viewers than this year's sham in Beijing.

Funny how the media is failing on all fronts: Netfilx misses earnings, MSM ratings in the trash can, no one going to movies, FaceMeta imploding, and sports coverage cratering. You'd think they would get the *nudge* the public is giving them and stop the propagandizing, but no.

I saw what they were doing to athletes that tested positive.. what they have to put up with for that alone could not be worth it. 2 PCR tests a day? You're bound to get false positives. Probably high Ct as well. Then locking the away from olympic village. Unreal. I won't be watching.

I'm not watching. I'm also boycotting the sponsors, and replying to their tweets asking why they are supporting the Chinese Olympics.

As a kid growing up in the 70's and 80's ,I would get excited for every Olympics but after decades of scandal,lack of principles regarding host nations and just absolute greed from all around, I can't bring myself to watch one minute of it.I am done with the Olympics and don't support it or its grifters in any way.

Used to really look forward to the Olympics, won’t be watching a second of this one.

I used to watch every event in the Olympics. No more. I'll only be watching USA curling. I feel sorry for our athletes who have put so much effort into preparation for this world-stage event. Watching these Olympics is equal to supporting China. I can't do that.

Well did you see what Pelosi said about athletes shouldn't protest there because of what the government of China might possibly do to them? Why the fuck would we even send our athletes there then.

Here's something for you all to think about: I posted on FB I wasn't going to watch the Olympics. Friends affirmed they weren't, either. One asked why not because- and this is crucial- she only watches the local (I mean local cable provider's ) newscast. So I explained to her why. She came back and said "Oh. They just talked about it. I had no idea." THAT, peeps, is why America is in trouble. The close-minded, bubble living people have no clue what's going on about anything, anywhere, at anytime.

The Olympics? Haven't watched them in 40 years. Nowadays, you can't tell the girls from the boys and it's all a woke joke. I can probably find the reruns of the Greek-Sparta games from 1,000 years ago on some channel since you get about 874 these days on cable.

“an overproduced, synthetic, corrupt, crazily expensive celebration of an entirely hollow globalism, paid for by corporate sponsors shilling their brands.” What hasn’t turned into this? Everything that used to be good organically is now this. I’m nobody and I won’t be watching. ✅

We won’t be watching even a single moment of the Olympics. I used to enjoy gymnastics and ice skating but haven’t watched in years. The left ruins everything.

Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday the summer games were in Beijing…and that poor drummer in the opening ceremony was exposed because his drum light when off at the wrong time…legend has it he was “punished”…the smog was too bad to run the marathon or other distance events. Ah…memories…

While the globalists plot the new world order they try to distract us by expecting us to cheer for our nation at the Olympics when the endgame is to eliminate the nation state and make us all slaves in the one world government. Resist!

They can mandate watching the Olympics.
