2020* Tokyo Olympics General Discussion

Fox says the Olympics are "too woke" lol

I can honestly say I've watched none of the Olympics. I honestly love cutting the cord. No satellite/cable/network TV is absolutely refreshing. Everyone should try it out.

Idk what “the twisties” are but I don’t think she did anything wrong(resulting in injury) on that vault besides not stick her landing. I’ll have to go give it a rewatch. 

The vault she committed to the judges prior to the event and the one she attempted weren't even close.

You don't need a cable subscription to watch the olympics.  Apps, Youtube, Peacock, OTA antenna, the NBC website... it's all available in some manner or other.

Yeah, the difference with streaming services is that it doesn't get constantly crammed down your throats. Stuff you don't really care about (for me that would be things like the summer Olympics, network news, reality TV, etc) is just a lot easier to tune out and forget about. Honestly, if it wasn't for social media I probably wouldn't even know the Olympics are actually going on right now.

Nah, they said on tv that she got lost in mid air. In slomo you could see the moment it happened. Luckily she didn't get hurt.

Don't know why I can't edit above post. But if you watch the vault, you see her right arm fly out, bracing for impact.

THIS is why we watch the Olympics.

Lots of people calling her a quitter but that is a dangerous sport if you aren’t dialed  in completely.  She made the right call for her and I applaud her for it

Pure class. That’s what Olympic spirit is all about.
