I am sure the Uighurs are comforted by the support for the athletes that have it so hard on their quest for fame and fortune. Sorry not sorry but everyone should have boycotted this farce. Good news ratings are way down.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

NBC opening ceremony ratings were down from 2018, but far outpaced all broadcast competition.   

 

GO TEAM USA!

Actually I think a lot of Amercans are very angry the way that 2 athletes are American born citizens that renounced their citizenship in order to represent  China in the Olympic games.

We have been watching the Olympics fro early 60’s! So exciting back then to wait for prime time and see what happen ! Today so easy to get results all day and on whatever device!! I still love it all and as family has grown with children and grandchildren it still is a family tradition. 🇺🇸⛷

Yes, I watch every 4 years, but only the winter.  I like most of the events except curling, biathalon & cross country skiing.  Those who don't want to watch just turn on a shopping channel lol.

The news reports are really disturbing.  Questionable disqualifications, athletes alleging they are not being fed properly...these Olympics are tainted.

It’s apparently not all fun and games at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

 

Complaints from athletes and officials are pouring in about the alleged poor living conditions, dining options, isolating rooms, and debilitating weather conditions, according to social media posts.

Since it sounds like a disaster over there and no one seems happy, why don't we just all quit and leave? Sounds like no one is happy, so leave.
