Do you even want to watch the Summer Games this year?

[Zech Marquis]

Because let's be honest, each and everytime a USA athelete is going to compete, everybody and his broother will boo the living shit out of them :-( ...and that's just the Opening Ceremony (provided Poppy and the girls aren't hogging the spotlght)

It's bad enough that the Nazi Boradcast Company will surely make this another Goebbers event, but throw in the sheer hatred the world has for *, I don't know if I want to watch this time :-(

[Worst Username Ever]

1. Yes I love the summer games

and I actually do feel bad for these athletes, they didn't ask for this while they were training for the past 10-15 years for this. I'll be watching!

[NMDemDist2]

2. i'm not worried about the booing

I'm worried about the shootings and explosions :(

[ClintonTyree]

3. No............

maybe by accident but this nationalistic bullshit doesn't appeal to me.

[Zech Marquis]

4. if I could have a satellite dish..

and watch like Canada's coverage... :evilgrin:

havng 400 US Special Forces in Athens isn't exactly reassuring either :-(

[Malva Zebrina]

5. I might watch--if the commercials are not too intrusive and annoying

and if they get booed, I hope it will be reported and a shot on the screen of the royal American fascist family, Bar, Poppy and the strapless sisters waving as if they were really important to the rest of the world and as if the rest of the world eagerly looks forward to seeing them wave,and to seeing the astounding cleavage Jenna will display to the world and the disconnected, discombobulated fashion "statement" of the lesser Bar who will wear one rag wrapped or tied, upon another rag,neither of which matches any color sense, in the hopes she is making a fashion statement that is the envy of every high society spoiled woman of her age in the world.

14. Those idiots are going to the Olympics?

I thought those two little poops would be pounding the pavement, pimping for Papa.

And aren't you glad that fat bitch Babs isn't YOUR grandma?

Maybe they will get booed, instead our athletes.

THOSE people, representing our country in the audience?? What a nightmare!

[truthspeaker]

26. Two words: inexpensive Uzo

All the motivation the * twins need to go to Greece.

[childslibrarian]

6. I don't care

I love the Olympics, even if they are on NBC...

[bluestateguy]

7. Yes I will watch

and I will root for my country, though sometimes I think the network coverage is much too America-centric, ignoring fine athletes from other nations.

[readmylips]

8. No, not watching bush propaganda....

There's Tony Hippopotamus on Hardball. Not listening to his pie of chit hole...good bye Tony.

[2Design]

9. what station is carrying it...

I hope that guy who did the winter olympics isn't doing it...his voice and attitude sucked....

I like some parts....diving...swimming, field hockey, gymnastics...no track, or high jump or disc throwing or wrestling....or basketball....

[Zech Marquis]

11. the MSGOP crime syndicate

even on Bravo :wow: so the Queer Eye guys will be pre-empted fr some good old Goebblers style xenophoic flag waving and brianwashing from Tom Brokav and Bob Costas again :puke:

[HuckleB]

10. No.

Having watched the 2000 games in Portugal, I don't think I can go back to US announcers.

[Radical Activist]

12. Brazil v. US indoor womens volleyball

I saw it last year and it was one of the most entertaining sporting events I have ever seen in my entire life. Those uniforms are great. I can't wait.

I'll watch some of the other events but I won't be real upset if I miss the rest.

[childslibrarian]

13. The Nationalistic Bull*****

Is the media.We already ignore them...the athletes have worked on their own for years to compete. If you refuse to watch you are buying into this nationalistic stick... The athletes compete for themselves...

[NoPasaran]

15. What games?

:shrug:

[RichV]

16. Nah, don't care

Might watch an event here or there, but really could care less. Just let me watch my Cubbies and everything will be just fine.

[bigwillq]

17. I will be watching

I always watch all of the Olympics and the Summer one's are my favorite. I love the swimming and the track and field.

It will be sad the hear the boos for the Americans but maybe this country will take a hint after they find out what the entire world thinks about them.

[a kennedy]

18. You bet I am......

Our Division III track star made the Olympic 4 x 4 relay team!!! So you bet, our whole state is very excited to have a "summer" Olympian. Have had a ton of winter athletes with the speed skating en all, but for the Summer games??? Oh ya you betcha.

[ronnykmarshall]

19. Some of it.

The gymnastic ...... duh I am a gay man.

And I LOVE the track and field too.

Anything with tank top and/or shirtless men ..... I'm there baby!

[terrya]

20. Only for men's gymnastics and men's diving. Everything else is "eh". eom

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

21. Yes, actually.

Because despite media whoring, the Olympics is a really cool event and I love to watch it. I mean, if that's hypocritical (for me to like watching the Olympics and not like NBC that much) then please excuse me for that. I think it's amazing to watch the athleticism that I could only dream of having...

:P

[sbj405]

22. There are some events I like

but without cable, I think I'm stuck watching the more popular events or the snippets that NBC wants to show.

[supernova]

23. Yes, I will watch

I love the Olympics. I enjoy the athletes and in a small way they help me keep taking care of my body as well. They're inspiring.

And I certainly won't penalize the athletes for being on NBC; they don't control who broadcasts the event.

[BigMcLargehuge]

24. they never televise the events I want to see

Judo
Tae Kwan Do
Fencing

[truthspeaker]

25. Yes! I'm not convinced US athletes will be booed.

I think most of America's critics are capable of separating their hatred of Bush from the American people.

And I want to see soccer and women's diving.

[New Dem]

29. that's they way it should be

i hope they can do that...it just isn't fair to the athletes if they can't.

[Bonhomme Richard]

27. I'm not a fan of the summer olympics except for...................

fencing which they never show.
The winter olympics are another matter. Love them.

[fishnfla]

the only thing i watch on TV is sports ,so yeah, I'm in

I miss all the joys(not!) of the talking head shows which seem to upset everyone so much in GD.

there might be some booing, but I think people mostly show up to cheer. I hear ticket sals are slumping, I dont think some one is going to buy a ticket just to boo the USA

Kid from our town is swimming in some events, his sister is that trippy tie-dye girl which coaches our daughters on swim team, his same team Daytona Speed
