David Plummer just won too. Anyone notice black live DON'T matter in swimming?

Fun little factoid for @Gunny and anyone else interested in the weightlifting - The only American weightlifter present at the Rio games is Kendrick Farris, he broke the US record during the Olympic qualifier rounds, and is a vegan (:
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

I can't even imagine it. Bet he doesn't win anything. But if that's what he wants to be, it's on him. I've been lifting since I was 15. Best I ever did was when I could slam down a steak every day.Originally Posted by Noir
I haven't seen them show weightlifting since the 70s.

Just watch the sport and not the drama.

Honestly? I'm sick of the commercials. And I don't want 5 minutes of each athlete's backgrounds. I DON'T CARE.
Play the damned game. It's why I rarely watch MMA. They spend more time explaining the athlete and pimping their next show it's ridiculous. Shut up and fight. I don't care where your swimmer learned to swim nor how. Get his/her ass in the pool.

What women's road race? I got tennis and soccer. Comcast sucks.
And just to square your and @Noir 's and @sundaydriver 's asses away ... I have no problem with women. You come out to play, come out to play. I had troopies that would get all indignant because I let the girls play ball with us.
I am neither racist nor gender bias. What I am is NOT PC. I treat everyone as equals until they prove themselves not worthy of such respect. I had this one little Cpl who happened to be black who took the aforementioned whiners to school on the court. She tripped when I put my knee up her ass because she tried to back into the paint. I was like play the game or don't. She got a jump shot over my ass.
We all relate to different things. I jut watched a horse roll over his rider.I don't even know how many times a horse has dumped my ass. Mom's got pics of me on a horse when I was 3.
Point is, it ain't about the girls so much as the sport. I'll watch women's gymnastics and swimming (like last night) until the tv goes off. But I's rather watch reruns of Gilligan's Island than tennis or soccer.

And I just mentioned an event with an incredible finish which was all about sport. It happened to be a women's event. I heard the men's road race finish was pretty nuts too but I didn't see that one.

Try reading the rest of the thread. Someone else made this about gender. You just got lucky and I responded to you.I managed to see it with rabbit ears.

It's about the sport to me. Geez. I don't watch men's soccer nor hockey either. And you can count on me being right there for ping pong.
I don't give a damn what you got between your legs playing golf or tennis. I ain't watching the crap. I don't even know where they come up with some of this crap. I hate soccer. Bunch of geeks running all over the place doing not much but causing riots.
To each his own. I just want to watch what I want to watch like everyone else. You put on tae kwon do and don't miss me while I'm gone.

I missed this one. Incredible performance by a 19 year old! And she is probably not done yet!
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

I love the swimmers. I REALLY love them when we win.
The little gymnast girl was hard core too. I was getting irritated with the commentator though. "Well, she didn't step just exactly right" ...Screw you. get your ass on that beam. Crap, I'd be lucky to just walk across it.
I wouldn't even try at my age. I can see that crotch shot from here.
