Olympics Are Incredibly Boring And Overrated

[jjgold]

Too commercial now
Many events so non competitive it is not even funny
Way too many meaningless sports


Why its so diminished is because all these athletes compete against each other all the time across the world that the Olympics dont mean much anymore

Tennis is a waste of time, its just a glorified weekly tennis event

It would be different lets say track and field that USA in the last 4 years never competed with foreign athletes in any events then it would be unreal..these clowns run against each other all the time

Swimming/Gymnastics????

Any guy watching the mens side needs to question himself


I rather watch the boring MLB instead

[SBR Lou]

It's special just for the simple fact that it unites folks to root for their respective countries. Betting wise probably not much there.

First bang on post of Gold's last 53 thousand or so.

could not agree more.

[Koldazzice]

ya it is boring but figure its only every 4 years so appreciate it is what I figure.

If we are lucky we get what 18 of these in a lifetime? The way I drink and spend money I'm guessing 15 is my over under lol.

[HoulihansTX]

Prestige and exposure.

Subway doesn't sponsor Phelps b/c he has won multiple world championships. Only Olympic Golds offer that kind of opportunity.

[jjgold]

Other than Phelps who is a freak most people could not name people won them

Olympics years ago were much better as was Ryder Cup

So many of the foreign athletes live in USA too

The American Pride thing is overrated too..most can care less what we do

[Nick Papageorgio]

This fencing is great stuff.

[darkhat]

Its all a joke.. very boring.

[Chi_archie]

[Brock Landers]

NEVER watched Olympics, don't think I ever will

[k13]

How many people will watch the Olympics vs MLB baseball?

No one cares about baseball, not even in North America.

[convick]

Olympics have always been overrated, at least in my lifetime. Must have been great back in the Cold War days and USSR heyday.

[unusialsusp5]

olympics? who gives a rats ? who cares who wins a gold medal? what does it mean? are you going to brag to someone in another country if yours wins one. athletes are more interested in getting some at night in the olympic village sin den.

[SlickFazzer]

I watch disciplines like judo., archery, and weightlifting.

[TheMoneyShot]

Olympics are horrible.

I've heard about it occasionally, but I LOVE the Ben Johnson results better
