I am. Unfortunately, I completely forgot about it when it started, and I've just turned the TV on.
What happened before the athletes came in? Any protesters been arrested yet? :p |

I refuse watch any part of the olympics as its the biggest crock of there is....it has nothing to do with the athletes anymore....its all about $$$$$$$.
The only reason its in China is so they can sell Coca Cola to Billions of People. |

There are moments we shouldn't think about politics, and the next few minutes are among them.
Besides, there's nothing wrong with money. |

you are right...there is nothing wrong with money but the olympics is no longer about the athletes.....tens of millions of dollars is spent just to get the olympics and that money could be used for much better things....especially in China.
If the IOC really cared about keeping the Olympics about the athletes and keeping the politics out of it, they would set up a permanent site in Greece and have the olympics there every 4 years.
I guarantee this olympics will have the most positive drug tests and not a single positive test for China. The IOC doesn't really care about drug testing....sure they will catch the odd weightlifter but you barely see a positive test in the track events or other high profile events....its always years later when the athlete comes out and says they were doped up. |

Well if thats your argument, I really hope you don't watch any sort of professional sports period. Pro sports is nothing but a selling machine, and not about the athletes either. Olympics is really the only more pure sports left that just isn't out to sell shoes, coca cola, or cars alone. |
