It just amazes me at the money, time and effort spent in hosting these games (which lead to Greece's downfall) to being in them. Who the fuck cares? So what your country won 5 gold medals. Who really cares 1 week after the games are done? That China thread that shows kids from 3 years old being trained to be in the Olympics is just moronic. What does China really get out of it? For all the money they put in what is the actual payoff? A medal? They would be better off training these minds to do something that will make the country better than just having someone capable of doing a triple flip into water without making a splash.
Do anyone of you cares really care about the Olympics when the Olympics are not actually on?
-
They're fun I guess, calm down fella.
-
I sure don't. Considering all the cash that goes into this so people can live their "dreams" I got dreams too, who's funding me to be a bb'er?

I went to a wrestling clinic one time and got to work hands on (no homo) with an Olympic gold medalist.
I don't even remember his name.

So did I - Randy Lewis did our clinic (1986 maybe?)
-
Yes. I care deeply.
-
Meltdown.

We give a fuck about the Olympia which is practically a posedown between muscle men in thongs, so we're not in the possition of talk bad about the olympics :D
-
i watch the olympics just to see female gymnasts perform cause thats sexy. and to see who the fastest man in the world is cause that shit is just amazing. everything else sucks
-
Maybe it's just you growing up?
My little town part had it's own olympic wrestler when I was little. Lived very close to us. Don't remember his name and don't care. To me it's funny when someone says that a big athlete lives in the same (huge) city as them, or in the next town. I think it only matters if you are neighbours or something.

Through the olympics the national states want to increase the level of nationalism
They want the average person to be PROUD of their nation
I will never in my life be proud of a national state ;)
-
you made a thread about it, seems like you do care
:D
-

no this was in like 2005 or something.
he had a twin and they used to start bar fights just to see if they could win, he was also real short and an asshole.
-
Lots of people care man. You gotta think worldwide. For many countries some of these sports are what they take pride in and to have an opportunity to showcase your nations talet as the best in the world at something is a major accomplishment.
I find it ironic that a thread could start out bashing a sporting event thats watched worldwide on a board that is made for a small cult sport that the majority of the world could really care less about.

Do not care one iota. Even when it is on TV I do not care. When they have an event with muscled men in thongs who sport shredded glutes and who offer private training & private posing sessions on the side, then I'll start to care. :P
Seriously, I suppose it’s nice to carry on the tradition, but why does it have to tour the world in new host cities every few years . . . and cost the host city so many millions of dollars? I'll pass. ::)
-
mon of steele why do you reluctantly care so much after all of this
-
Bay loooves the pole vault and the clean and jerk rest of us like the snatch ;)

I can tolerate watching track & field (though they never seem to show shot putters anymore), swimming (men and women), synchronized swimming, gymnastics (men and women) and weightlifting (men). Not much else.

Typical gay. Stereotype. :-*

I dont know if this is actually true but maybe sponsors (sports related goods) win some money through it?
-
We don't give a fuck because we are not in ancient greece. The last time the olympics were relevant was when the U.S. showed those Nazi fucks who was really in charge, in the 40's.

I enjoy watching womens beach volleyball with a bottle of lotion, a 6 pack of C batteries and a bowl of jello

Womens volleyball is must see T.V.! All those asses busting out of those short, shorts! ;)

It's a lot more important to the national pride of smaller countries than larger ones.
-
it's about medal counts. It has gotten to the which nation is better. It used to be the US vs. Russia vs. east Germany, then US vs the world, now it's US vs China vs Russia, with China reppin' the E. German angle.
It's about power plays---generally the ones with the most medals, especially golds is seen as a superpower.
China has said back in the early 2000s that they couldn't beat the blacks, and if you look at their strategy, they focus on more obscure and individual sports, plus gymnastics---which the Russians focus on as well...Swimming, diving...
All that nobody gives a shit. Everybody watches the Summer Olympics for the track and field events (and basketball) that's all that matters.
-
You watch the female women's Polish volleyball team then tell me you don't care

Let me see if I got this right? You don't like the sports in the Olympics but oiled up men posing in thongs is great entertainment?

It's funny you say that. I can honestly say that I have never watched a live bodybuilding show. Of course I see the contest pics etc.. on here. I do own a few training vids though. A couple battle for the olympias, a Ronnie Coleman dvd, and a Sean Ray dvd. Those dvds mostly just show them training in the gym. I would think it would be a little gay to watch an entire broadcast of men in thongs. :P

I don't give a fuck about it while it's on or not. I got three weeks holiday whilst the Olympics are on here in London and I'm spending it laying on a secluded beach on a small island in the Aegean sea.

In comparison she's in better shape at 86 than Ronnie Coleman at 45.
better aging than any pro bodybuilder, no broken body, no tear, great skin and a functionnal body

In the last few Olympics, its obvious that the media is helping push the one world agenda. The Patriotism has been toned way down. Its all been about one world one love sort of shit.

try to get tickets for the 2012 Olympics and you get an idea how many people care.
