there was a creepy show about a year ago with mother/son and father/daughter dance teams...one word for it....WRONG....

America Jr. up 1-0 vs Germany... should just about do it.

Canada vs Russia tomorrow will be epic.

Women's figure skating tonight... oops, I mean, "ice dancing".

First up is an Asian girl from Australia. Kind of freaks me out when they're this young. She's almost 17. From the waist down she looks 21, from the waist up she looks 12. :shake:

Man, these bobsledding chicks look lke they could play running back in the NFL with those thighs.

Several of these ladies are also members of the olympic softball club.

I tried to watch the Winter Olympics. I wanted to enjoy them. But I can't. I can no more watch the Winter Olympics that I can watch that dancing with stars crap or Oprah.

What's that CP saying about pussification?

I apologize in advance if this is a repost.

Canada just scored on a goal where the puck went through the net and out the back. Wasn't ruled a goal until after review.

4-0 Canada

Canada monster got woke up by the US.

Penalty shot coming up.

Crosby rejected.

The Olympics are a substitute for war, just like any other sporting event. It's no different from soccer, or the NFL, or MLB. In lieu of one town or country kicking the shit out of its neighbor, sports pit athletes against one another, doing things that the Average Joe usually can't. These people train all their lives to battle against others in their sport who are at the top of their sport. Most of these athletes, even the prissy ice dancers, probably have enough stamina and muscle tone to kick the living shit out of most of us fat-ass keyboard-jockeys. So I ask, in all seriousness: what the f**k does the Winter Olympics have to do with "Dancing With The Stars", Oprah, or pussification? Really?

Skicross on now. This rocks.

Every time I turn the shit on there is either someone dancing on skates or an interview is being conducted to let us know the powerful back story of the athlete.

Dancing with stars and oprah.

You enjoy it? Good for you. I do not and decided to post my thoughts. I was curious if I was alone. But then, it wasn't too terribly smart of me to post in a thread for people who are watching them, was it?

The broadcast seems to be aiming for the female audience, is all I'm saying.

Simply not true. Yes, the past few nights have been ice skating, but there's also been plenty of other stuff going on, from curling to skiing to hockey. Coverage starts at noon on USA, then moves to CNBC and MSNBC before NBC finally starts their prime-time coverage. And, yes, in prime time, they tend to save the stuff they think will appeal to the widest audience, which includes women and grandparents, so stuff like ice skating tends to be prevalent. But you can turn to CNBC and see hockey at the same time. And right now they're showing ski-cross.

As for the backstory crap, that's NBC's fault, not the fault of the Olympics.

If you don't like it, feel free to not watch it. But to chalk up the Winter Olympics as "Oprah, 'Dancing With The Stars', and pussification" is just inaccurate.
