Canada is kicking ass this year with 10 total medals. Don't worry America, you'll do better next time.

Yeah, I noticed him allowing it to touch the ground, but it isn't that big of a deal to me...especially when there are people burning it, peeing on it, and doing whatever they want with it.
He was doing it out of ignorance and not to make a political statement or to intentionally desecrate it.
I can get over it and he did excellent representing us! I am glad he won.

Yeah, I cringed a little when he was stepping on it...but mostly because I knew he was gonna get a ration of shit over it from overly sensitive patriots. In the excitement of the moment, he was super-amped and not thinking about flag etiquette.
He's still the biggest badass on a slick and so much fun to watch.

Out of genuine interest, what criteria would everyone like to see used to determine whether or not something should or should not be an Olympic sport? I am certain the Ancient Greeks could not have dreamt up half the modern events we have in the Summer and Winter games.

The Ancient Greeks did not have to worry about billion dollar TV contracts and keeping younger viewers interested in watching.
For 2020 they’ve added skateboarding and surfing; I shit you not. Meanwhile there was a genuine push (failed) to eliminate wrestling.
Add 3-Gun. That I would actually watch and pay attention to.
Nancy Pelosi would have a coronary.
My suggestion for summer games would be Team freefall. Maybe even wingsuit stuff. Im serious.
I watched the Canada/Switzerland hockey game last night. So many names I thought/hoped I'd forgotten! Rene Bourque, being useless for the Avs, makes a comeback! I wanted to forget him.
So many old men. It's literally all the guys who were too old for the NHL but have some life left so are playing in Europe. It was a boring game.
I might watch more women's.

We will still get Gold...
She's only 23 and has already won 41 races in her young career. For ref, Vonn is 31 and has won 81.
We'll see.

Someone took the time to write my, "why I hate NBC having the Olympics" letter for me.
Is NBC Sabotaging Its Own Winter Olympics 2018 Streaming Options?

Concur. very disappointed in the coverage of these Olympics.
There has also been a fair amount of discussion around attendance, which is poor at many events. This is due to a lot of factors, many of which are probably centered around the choice of venue/host country, but it takes away from these Olympics.
As I said earlier, I'm a huge fan of the winter Olympics but this one is just missing "spark", "hook" or whatever.
