I never called him an idiot. I said his specific ideas that were listed in his post were idiotic, likely because he doesn't have much experience in this area. I don't think you're an idiot either, just a snake.
I rest my case.

I bailed on the Olympics years ago. NBC which stands for Nothing But Crying is horrible. They cover it like a silly reality TV show instead of a sporting event. ABC did a much better job with Olympic coverage.
I hope NBC takes a bath on the ratings and has to reimburse or give free advertising like the last Super Bowl. I stopped watching years ago because of ten minutes of programming, two mins. of actual sport and 10 minutes of commercials, lather rinse repeat...

Not much.

Give me the luge and bobsled.

Those folks honestly are sacrificing bodily damage for our enjoyment.

You got me to think about some of the dangerous winter sports as compared to the summer sports… Downhill skiing, half pipe snowboarding, the two you events mentioned… Winter Olympics seem to be far more dangerous than anything the Summer Olympics have to offer.

Haven't watched much. Happened to catch the Nathan Chen skating deal last night. Congratulations to him. On a side note, Tara Lipininski is still bangable....and that Johnny Weir tool didn't get the memo that he wasn't hired by the pos network he is working for, as an announcer of the Hunger Games.

If that's the case, they're going to do it anyway. Antagonizing them will only speed that process up, I can guarantee you that. Every advantage the US had in the 20th century to become the preeminent world power, China now has in the 21st century. Only idiots who are too stupid to see this are in favor of antagonizing China.
Let's go Brandon! Yeah that's it Let's go!

As a Gen Xer kid, we used to wax our sleds to race down an iced street.

Yes, we waxed our wooden sleds with metal bottoms so we could go faster.

Anything and everything to win.

Speaking of being a Gen X kid. My favorite BMX movie as a youngster was on the other night. "Rad". Hadn't seen in 35 years. Damn, I'm old. Total 80s cheese with Crue Jones. Lori Loughlin looking very fine in it too!! Great soundtrack as well.

china is washington's problem, they wanted to give the US manufacturing base to the ccp.
I was saying that was dumb long ago.
