RaoulDuke79 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) On vacation so I'm checking in when I can. Saw the US Womens team lost to Sweden, which was a pretty big upset. Although Sweden always plays them tough. Should serve as a wakeup call. Edited July 21, 2021 by RaoulDuke79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Saw this https://www.si.com/olympics/2021/07/21/tokyo-olympics-covid-19-protocol-restrictions-journalists?fbclid=IwAR2TfjZcqQq_phmku69wbRMoOExO4noYE2yQw8zzJxiLYfhpUnFXBoK8qiU Sounds like a "cf" on the sports media side - lots of pointless protocols that don't actually address things that cause spread like packed busses and crowded elevators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Rui Hachimura at the front of the Japan contingent in the opening ceremony. He was at least a foot taller than everyone else. Looked funny. With those striped shirts, the USA looks French....or like they're about to go sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 I didn't get to watch the opening ceremony, but I can't imagine it had the same luster without spectators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those infomercials about copper clad pots and pans would have gotten my click vote. It’s not that I’m anti-Olympics. I enjoy the games for the most part, some much more than others, of course. Walking with no fans felt so empty to me! A lot of surprisingly interesting things at unexpected times. Hard not to like that. But I have never given a hoot about the opening ceremonies. That’s a time for them, a bore for me. Go out and do your thing and do your best, and be proud of what you accomplished forever. . . Edited July 25, 2021 by Augie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Opening ceremonies were kinda boring, but the 1800 lighted drones flying over the stadium was a sight to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Is anyone else as apathetic about Summer Olympics as me? Just too much going on in life. Used to love Summer Olympics.

Used to love Summer Olympics. Now a big fan of Winter Olympics (when stuck inside during Feb). We enjoy the gymnastics (especially my gymnast wife and DIL) and the swimming in the Summer. Hoops is usually more fun than this time around. Those “joke sports” do nothing for me. That’s kind of embarrassing to the games, IMO. I enjoy the winter for the skiing and some of the skating. Very true that February has fewer outside options to keep me away from the TV. . Edited July 26, 2021 by Augie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
