Let's see if anyone bites


To start things off, these are the lengths Israel wil go to for our first (and possibly only, at least until sailing events start) medal in the 2016 summer Olympic games:

There's no official answer yet. They tested the water and said there's no risk to athlete's health ... some say lack of chlorine.

The sewage flows out into the water and they never cleaned it up.

All the Muslim countries are being super anti semites about facing Jews. Sketchy ****.

Nah, it's been going on forever, we're used to it. This one's actually an improvement, they usually don't even step up for the match. 

This dude was under a lot of pressure to forfeit because competing against Israel is also recognizing Israel.

I'm gonna cut him some slack, the **** that must've been going through his mind at that moment ... he just lost the biggest fight of his life, and to an Israeli of all people.

My guess is, he thought that if he ****** him up he's be "forgiven" and he got beat decisively. My guess is, he was dealing with a lot of emotions and good on him for actually standing up to the extremists and putting his dreams, career and country above stupid religious warmongers.

It may look bad, but it's actually a step forward towards keeping this stupid conflict out of international sporting events that are supposed to celebrate global unity and sportsmanship above all.

There was also a report of Lebanese competitors not wanting to be on the same bus with Israelis. Which is just...tolerable for some reason. Yet if you say anything about Islam you're a "racist" even though Islam isn't a race. The world is not a place of logic or reason any longer.

While I agree with you on that, the ratings for the Olympics have dropped tremendously, and I think it's in part because no one takes the rivalries seriously anymore. It's like The Miracle On Ice would have never happened in today's society. And it's a bit ridiculous that American television networks have to be PC and not show bias toward America. Plus they keep picking host countries for Olympic games that are horrendous. There was at least one story about a canoe or kayak (whichever is somehow a sport) hitting a SOFA because the pollution in Brazil is so terrible. I mean, it's a gigantic oil Oligarchy and all their politicians are pretty notoriously corrupt (that does go for pretty much all countries, but still)

I can't watch the CBC olympic wrestling streams, my damn computer sucks and it's all choppy.  I remember someone posted a russian upload of all the medal matches from the 2015 world's, I hope they do it for the olympics as well.  I love freestyle wrestling, I want to see our Canadian women win some medals.  Canada and Japan were the only countries to qualify women in every weight class.  Our whole olympic wrestling team is women, no men qualified, I think.

The US Men's basketball team is playing Serbia in the finals.  Maybe it's me, but I hope that Serbia wins.  I wish it was more competitive for the US like it was in the 80s when they had to go up against the likes of the Soviet and Yugoslavian team.

GreenHornet, it was competitive because the US wasn't allowed to send over professional players, only College kids.

Yes, it was not until 92 that pros were allowed.

Watching the Olympics is like watching a six hour block of commercials with occasional short interruptions of sporting events.
