Who else is not going to watch a single minute of this FARCE of an Olympics?

What a damn shame. The athletes all had to miss the real Olympic year, then they're treated to this joke that Japan is putting on. Sports teams and players had to go a year playing with no specators and with any achievement having an asterisk due to watered-down competition. The guys and girls who only get to have their big tournament once every 4 years had to wait an extra 1 year for nothing of an improvement over whatever lame "Olympics" could've been held last year anyways.

There should be a basic level of intelligence required to post on Letsrun.

Jamin= Glass half empty. A pathetic way to go through life.

Whether you think it is "lame" and or a "joke", it is a lifetime achievement you'll never experience, and I can guarantee you that not one Olympian is going to give a rat's A** about your personal boycott. Not the Olympics we all hoped for, especially from the athlete's point of view (no spectators-strict protocols). Nevertheless, they're Olympians and will be for life and will be competing to do their best.

I look forward to watching these amazing athletes over the next two weeks!

Good Luck Team USA!

I guess I’m not who else since I’m about 8 hours into my watching marathon of the Tokyo Olympics.

Neither Utah nor Florida could have hosted the summer Olympics on such short notice.

I'm watching. One of the things I like about the Olympics is watching sports that I normally don't see. Things like badminton, rowing, handball, and shooting.

Maybe not a single minute. How about multiple rounds of 57 seconds?

It's good to know that you won't be watching the T&F competition or the two marathon races as in your words, they are a FARCE. Hopefully you will add no commentary on any other threads in regards to those events (or any other events) involving the Olympic Games.

You like to be insulted, don't you?

I think that Jamin can be summed up by this lyric from Elvis Costello's "Man Out of Time":

He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge

He stands to be insulted and he pays for the privilege
