Same people yelling about how Simone Biles quit in 2021. It’s gotta be exhausting to be this constantly bothered.

We had 10 days in Arizona with a pool so I taught my kids the easiest swim stroke for lazy folks - Elementary Backstroke! Great for fat guys who can float. You besmirch the frog kick again in here and we will have problems.

I’m fine. But some things bother people that doesn’t bother you. Not sure that makes it dumbit is a shame that the controversial opening ceremonies has caused some to tune out. these athletes have worked for years to represent their countries and do not deserve to be let down for something beyond their control. I support the athletes, not the IOC or French Olympic committee.
You can't please everyone. Clearly there are people who are turned off and not watching but it is also clear that those people are a small small population.
Every Olympics there is some group that gets all upset about something and yells as loudly as possible that this is the worst thing to ever happen and society is doomed.
Is anybody still outraged? So dumb.

Hard disagree. Being outraged over an artistic expression is the epitome of dumb, especially when you live in a land that cherishes, reveres and champions freedom of religion, speech and expression.

Its hard to imagine there's a single real person out there who actually watched the opening ceremony, then decided not to watch any of the olympics due to outrage. Its all noise from warriors who were trolled by the out-of-context still image created to manufacture social media outrage, fell for it, and now feign outrage over something they wouldn't be watching anyway.

I typed in “speed walking rules” into google and as I did I so much wanted some subreddit to pop up that was like “speed walking rules!!!”
Someone should start websites that are all like “fencing rules!!” or “men’s four rules!!” or myriad other obscure olympic events.
Then instead of curious uninformed people learning the rules they just get to watch cool ****

US team looked gassed about 6 minutes into a 10 minute half court game.

Watching the uneven bars and noticed how much play the bars have in them from what I remember. I looked at Olga Korbet from the 1972 Olympics and there is almost no flex in the bars at all. I wonder if they changed the specs for these things that allows for the high flying acrobatics now days.
Other than the dismount (Suni Lee) , I thought Korbet's was more impressive.

Backstroke is, of course, the stroke of masters and kings. To fly down the pool without the help of sight. Heck, in my day, one had to do the turn from your back. None of this flipping over nonsense.
I besmirch not the frog kick - it is the favorite of metrosexuals everywhere. Who can argue with that?

No ****! I could not believe how non-athletic these folks look. They wouldn't even be able to practice on an NBA team, and what I mean is they couldn't physically do it IMO.
Sham looking sport or event, give me the Mens Basketball team, that's plenty

They should run an in season tourney in the Big 3 league to send to the Olympics.

You two are ****ing nuts. They aren't Lebron or Steph, but those 4 dudes on the US are damn good players. Everyone thinks just pick 4 NBA guys and they would dominate. I am extremely skeptical.
Yo Mama

And there are certain minimum amounts of 3 EX 3 time the players have to play to be eligible, so you can’t just grab people from the NBA or WNBA unless they specialize enough in this format.

Rules. These guys are insane. Haven't gotten to the girls yet, but I'm sure they're just as nuts.

How did we send a team that's so bad? I feel like we could've just gone down to Rucker Park and picked literally any 4 players and they'd have won this thing in a walk. Instead we have 3 out of shape dads and Jimmer Freddette, who somehow forgot how to shoot, getting worked every game.

Jimmer is the # 1 ranked 3x3 basketball player in the world
