Just wondered how many of you folks have been keeping track of this years Winter Olympics?
I read somewhere earlier today that viewing of this years Olympics has been down quite a lot compared to years past.
So how many of you have been watching this years Olympics?
Regards,
Lee
I heard the winter Olympics are raciest so I for sure will not be watching :angry:
Janica Kostelić rulez!
i use to actually pay for tickets to go see some of the events but as the years passed and the "drug-doping" scandals appeared more frequent i just felt it was no longer "real" , this also happens in our american sports as well.
if you want to see real sportsmenship try catching a game at the local park.

Not me, seems boring. I am not into the cold and snow, so I definitely am not interested and they wear to many clothes in the Winter Olympics.
I haven't seen a peep of them. Most of the time I don't even remember there's olympics going on.
But I am waiting on Eurovision :)
:eek: :eek: :eek:Quote:

This weekend since I wasn't at work and my dog got stuck home while I was out having fun I left the Olympics on for her, but she ended up sleeping in the other room
I guess I'm the only one that watches. :( Thats ok, you're missing some good eye candy. Seth whatshisname that won the snowboard-cross is mighty fine!
Oh I agree and actually saw a clip of that, but he had too many clothes on, so really couldn't see much of his hotness. :)Quote:

I've watched some of the events (No, not hockey or ice dancing). I do not spend a lot of time infront of the tube (I am too busy playing outside in the snow), so I usually watch the recaps or hi-lights.
? WTF, and what ArtBell station told you that?Quote:

I heard they have other events there too. Something to do with running or something. I dunno.

Its ok man but you should think about how quick you are to anger when you believe a white person says something stupid and raciest and how quick you are to drop it when you find out its a Jamaican or a black person that said the same thing. :wacko:Quote:

I was not angry, just disgusted.Quote:

BTW, I was correcting myself.

The above person is whom I was referring to when I said: I must correct myself. He is from Jamaica.
But you are very correct when you say I am wacko - I am more than merely off the beaten track.

Ya man Bryant Gumbel is a black man and a rather famous sports broadcaster that said that about all the white people in the Olympics :err:Quote:

WOW, you think I am an angry person!
Don't worry Paco, not like Gumbel made that statement recently, in fact wasn't it eons ago? way back before either of us were born? Just another kotex moment I think... :coffee:
No he made that statement about a week ago, was in the news paper, on all the broadcast news shows, as well as online news services.Quote:

Kotex moment Bah-hah! Mister, you so silly - thanks for the chuckle.Quote:

Sure, most winter sports are Euro-centric, but what's most surprising is that people just do not get. How does that go: location, location, location.
To make B.G. happy, I propose that we have Winter Games on Mt.Kilimanjaro.
As time goes on, other 'races' will partake, once they relocate to where the snow is.
Well, I just puffed one back, and now I must go sweep snow!
Glad you enjoyed it..
