I always tell myself I like the Summer Olympics more than the Winter Olympics. Maybe not. Having a hard time getting into this. Maybe it's because Team USA sucks so bad at basketball this time around.

It's a fuck load more entertaining than weight lifting.

Yeah but watching them eat shit is hilarious.

Whatever. Weak person. Pressure is life and death situations and family stuff. .

Count me in on being unimpressed with synchro diving and skateboarding. Yawn.

Now if the surfing is anything like the King of the Mavericks competition I'm all in.

I will say this.............team handball is pretty cool.

Put Biles in the Osaka category of snowflake athletes who enjoy all of the accolades of being famous... i.e. magazine covers, endorsements, media appearances, etc., however apparently they don't want to deal with the actual pressure of maintaining that fame with their athletic performances.

Or maybe it's just the fact that the pressure is just too fucking insane.

How do you think a guy like John McEnroe would have handled the internet and 24/7 paparazzi that encompasses athletes these days?

There is an enormous amount of pressure on these people, who just want to play their sport.

Not everyone wants to be "famous".

The era of the quitter Olympian. Should be a contradiction in terms.

Just fine, and would've been a great watch :-)
[Reply]

Because he's lived such a public life since?

Johnny Mac on the internet? That shit would have been hilarious.

Guess I'm not getting what you're trying to say here.

I just remember his tirades on the court. I would only assume if then was now the tirades would definitely spill all over the interwebs and social media. :-)
[Reply]

I'm referring to his every move being scrutinized on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, let alone, all of the media outlets.

Some people can handle that kind of negativity and others can't and lose their fucking minds. I mean, we see it all the time with famous young kids whether they're athletes like Biles and Osaka or Britney Spears or Demi Lovato or Miley Cyrus and so on.

Some people are built for fame and some people aren't.
