It's been a really fun Olympics so far...

Nobody gives a fuck what you think, about anything!
Plus...the country was in a bad place. Economy sucked. Iran hostage crisis was still new. It wasn't just 'any' accomplishment. It truly was movie material.Great description...young American college kids against intimidating, world class Soviet professional veterans. Hollywood couldn't even write that script.
To this day, I believe it is hard to over-estimate how electrifying that hockey game was....I remember it with almost crystal clarity, watching it with three of my high school buddies and one of their dads. Edge of seat type stuff. I have never had that rarified feeling in any sporting event before or since. It felt like the whole nation was chanting USA USA. And my minds eye can still see that goalie looking for his dad in the stands as the game ended. Wow, maybe it's just me but that game is burned onto my neurons 40 years later!
Indeed. Much less political now...but historically the games offered symbolism.I wonder how much of those sporting and gaming events would even be remembered without the Cold War as a back drop. Without the context and perception of an East-West existential struggle for hearts and minds.
As I thought about it years later as an adult, a chess tournament, a hockey game, a basket ball game were almost geopolitical extensions of the global conflict between the eastern bloc and the United States. Those events were almost like asymmetric warfare, they were a part of the field of battle as much as they were a simple athletic competitions.
That was amazing run for Shaun! ( Well, USA hockey lost in OT to Slovenia, but so did the Russian team.so the tournament should be very interesting....)Loved getting to see that! Great stuff!
That was amazing! USA hockey up right now, 2-0...

Hitler, black athletes finally breaking the barrier, black power fists on the medal stand. I'm sure there are others.
When is the bass fishing event?
So you believe I 'applauded' Hitler? I think the face palms have scrambled your brainAre there any other Race gang signs you applaud?

quarter sticks are not legal in the Olympics
Not watching. Lindsey Vonn politicized it, @#$& @&% %&$#.
We’ve been watching every night. As usual, rooting for the Americans at every event they’re in. Enjoying the biathalon right now. No Americans in sight but very fun to watch. I asked who watched the olympics at work today....crickets.
I haven't had cable or anything similar in years. If it isn't on Netflix or Youtube I don't watch it.
