I hope you are joking. Its a shame that we don't celebrate the Olympics more. It is a joyous occasion here all international strife is put aside to see some amazing feats. And there are those like you who don't appreciate what it means to the world.

Nobody has to love the Olympics. I don't care for them. I understand that they mean alot for many people, but I'm not one of them. It's an athletic competition....in the grand scheme of things it doesn't mean much IMO. The guy just expressed that he didn't care for the Olympics. I don't see the big deal in that. Inevitably, it's going to get negged in a thread about the Olympics, and it probably should be because it's just like those posters that don't like the NBA and complain about it in an NBA thread. Silly. But you don't have to get on your soapbox when someone expresses that they don't like the Olympics....as if it's morally wrong or something.

They blow and they are all cheating. For the love of God get that crap off my channels. Who the f would watch girls basketball? I need some American football stat. I don't care about the international communities. Don't try to think you are better than those of us that don't care. I travel overseas almost annually, because my wife is from Brazil. I have been to Europe, Middle East, and Africa. I am not special or better than those that haven't. The thing is soccer blows unless it is a South American team (Europeans fall like they were shot if they get touched). So take the "it is so special bull$@t" and keep it. Get off my lawn olympites! Oh and go USA!

I'm not a huge fan of the Olympics and really only care about team sports and a few other events. But in the last Winter Olympics, I was ecstatic and elated when Parise tied the game up and sent us into OT with Canada.

What happened after that is my least favorite Olympic moment.
