    I dunno about everyone else, but I'm so sick of the Olympics. I know it's helped focus a light on gay rights issues, but I'm sick of it being the main thing in the news, day after day after day! I think it ends Feb 23, and I can't wait.

    As an athlete, I can't even imagine the amount of dedication and commitment it must have taken to get to the Olympics. Because of that, the competition has my utmost respect.

    I LOVE the Olympics! I'm not into regular sports, at all, but come Olympics time, I'm glued to the screen. Especially figure skating in the winter and gymnastics in the summer.

    So great.

    Meh, I'm just tired of it. It seems like all the rich countries just trying to see how much they can spend on training people, and also, a huge corporate greed-fest. I don't think they represent the spirit of the games anymore, it's just $$$ on parade, with added steroids. Call me a crab-ass, but I'm throwing a party when they end, and avoiding them inasmuch as possible!

    No way, I love watching the Olympics and will watch as much as possible for the next two weeks. Sochi has the added benefit of generating quite a bit of support for gay rights as well which is awesome.

    It is a completely reasonable amount of athleticism in my opinion. None of that "new season" every five seconds and when the season ends, "Oh no, we'll just keep playing and call it off season". Alright, no.

    One of these days I am going to walk into one of those stadiums and slap those balls out of their hands. It is sub-zero outside and I've had to suffer through multiple months listening to the accounts of "last nights game". No, you've had your time. Now stop it!

    I love watching the Olympics. It's the event that all sports production people hope to someday work. I may never get the chance to work the event, but I can at least enjoy the broadcasts and critique them so that I can learn from them :slight_smile:

    Also, I love speed skating, ski jumping, and snowboarding. (Shawn White is awesome!)

    Oh com'on. How can you be tired of the Olympics? They have the potential of becoming the gayest Olympics ever. :wink:

    Having gone to the Vancouver 2010 winter games, I gained more appreciation for them. Interested to see how the Canadian team does in the various sports. :slight_smile:

    Yes. Sports and physical competition is silly. I'd rather have a battle of the minds, a debate of intellect.

    Kind of. I usually can't wait for any athletic competition to end because they bore me to no end, but the Olympics can't end until the person I know wins a metal.

    Im so sick of it already. There's always something - cricket. football. golf. soccer. winter Olympics. summer olympics. I know a lot of people dont agree, but i just think the 50 billion and change could have been better spent, just my opinion.

    DIE SPORT DIE.
