So Japan spent a bunch of money building event venues for the Olympics and i assume more money upgrading local infrastructure.... and now there will be no spectators. You lose your ass hosting these games under normal conditions and the benefit of tourism dollars.

LA in 2028 might be the only one that will not lose money since they are mostly using existing venues.

The musical composer for the opening ceremony just pulled out because it was discovered he admitted to bullying a disabled classmate when he was younger, "forcing him to masturbate and eat his own feces." :shock:

The 1992 dream team games popped up on Youtube for me the past two days so I watched a few minutes. Bird and Magic were washed up and the Dream Team could have been better if Rodman was on the team. They gave up so many 2nd and 3rd chances on the defensive end.

Frankly I can do without any Olympiad in Asia. Everything on tape delay is always disjointed and now really anti climactic.

I always enjoyed it when I was a kid having events on live overnight.

I happened to be in Sweden for work during parts of both the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics. It was so nice to watch the English language Eurosport feed because they showed events from start to finish, and not the NBC bullshit of only showing the three favourites and the three Americans. It was 12 hours straight, then 12 hours of replay straight, no host.

So the women's soccer team that complains that they don't get paid enough lost 3-0 to Sweden?

I’ll give ‘em a pass, since the Olympics are going to be canceled, anyway.

I guess that all the flowing commercial endorsement bags have made them soft and lazy.

Good for them. Just like the Alabama QB who has already booked one million in endorsements.

Dan just told us he doesn't think this will be a good Olympics because a lot of people are going to get sick and die. My fault for trying to listen this morning.

Its gonna look so weird seeing zero fans in giant stadiums again.

I'll (probably) watch golf, and that's about it.
