You realize you just defined the problem of leftist media not reporting the truth.

Or for the most part the Olympics HAVEN'T been that political (or at the least political in how this board portrays) and only conservative outlets are making it appear so... ad nauseum. To drive home narratives and anger the base. It's working. Y'all are suckling at the PropagandaPhantom teet with every thread post he makes.


I'm not including the political aspects that are typically Olympics associated like country-country conflict (HK, Taiwan, China for example). We've had what... a few team kneelings, an outspoken wnt team, an outspoken track and field star.... am I missing anything else?

Let's just say that you're right and the Olympics haven't been that political. In that case, JD, it puts a bigger spotlight on those who DO make it political and basically defied IOC 'orders'

Yes they issued the orders and rules of the Olympics (dont remember if the order about political messages was rescinded (I know they considered it) and these people disobeyed.

Men's 4x100 relay team again fails to make the finals. I remember when that used to be our best team there.

USWNT water polo to gold medal match, baseball as well. USWNT soccer wins bronze. We also won in pole vault, wrestling, silver in climbing, and basketball to gold medal match.

Men's basketball set to play France for the Gold.

Also interested in seeing Canada take on Sweden tomorrow morning in Women's Soccer. Win or lose, this will be the best finish for the Canadians in international play.
