I tried to watch, just couldn't get into it. Rio is a bad venue, way too dangerous and that is regarding crime, not to mention the water and air pollution.
Too many commercials.
Anyone liking so far?

No hockey = bad olymipics.
The good olymipics are in two years time.
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

Do we need to change your name to Ms Boycott? I agree with you about Rio, but politics will not allow it to go away. I blame the IOC. Brazil has been a known crap hole for years and years. This is not something new. There has been show after show on the place. It's a political decision.
SInce the sports I watch are mostly indoor sports, it won't affect me watching much. As an athlete? I wouldn't go and not solely because of the sewage. As you pointed out, the crime rate there is horrendous. Life is cheap in 3rd rate countries. The poorer they are, the cheaper life is.

I like the Swimming, Track and Field, Wrestling, Gymnastics, and Archery.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

It's all too much glitz and sequins, the athletes look like Disney characters. A male gymnast broke his leg doing a vault, that makes things interesting. The Olympics in 1972 was interesting, maybe this year we'll see some athletes wash up in that polluted harbor.
I think they should have a killer virus at every Olympics. This year Zika, in two years for the Winter Games the Spanish Flu, then in 2020 maybe something like the Black Plague. "Bring out you dead! Bring out your dead!"
That's funny. Sad but true. In 72 we 3 channels and got to see better stuff than you can on all 7 million channels NBC owns now.
ESPN is worthless. Some leader in sports channels. Two days of listening to Bret Favre. I like the guy, but come on. The HOF speeches? They talked longer than Obama does. Each. Somebody put the Energizer Bunny up Tony Dungy's butt. He wouldn't shut up and I fell asleep. Literally.
Get to the gymnastics and swimming already. If I want to watch an equestrian "sport" I'll turn on rodeo.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves and wiser people so full of doubts. Bertrand Russell
My wife and daughter will probably turn that nonsense on at some point. I enjoy the Winter Olympics but the Summer Olympics are so boring.
The only sport I watch throughout the year is Hockey. Baseball, basketball, and football are all boring to me. I quit watching baseball and football in the 80's. Never did watch basketball. Started watching hockey after my 1st LA Kings game October 9th, 1993.
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

I watch the sports I can relate to. I played baseball, football and basketball. Used to do Olympic lifting and I'm a martial artist. I've never been a girl. I've watched maybe 2 total minutes of hockey in 56 years. I watch what I can relate to.
The winter Olympics are worthless to me. I'm in for the gymnastics and swimming. Haven't seen any weightlifting since the 80s. I'd dump half the crap they call sports and put some real ones in. Games are not sports.

Rio is a disgrace. Damn kayaker got flipped over because he ran into a damn SOFA in the water!! At least it wasn't a dead body as they said they found, or actual feces. But that "super bacteria" probably got him!
