Apparently we're having the Olympics in about two weeks. Who knew?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I don't watch olympics, but I knew because there was some talk of boycott or some such.

Does the NHL "boycott" the Winter Olympics by not allowing the players to go for the ice hockey tournament?

At least nothing should happen in Ukraine during the Winter Olympics, that's the only exciting part about them.

I always like the Winter Olympics but it's a very different vibe. With the Summer Olympics I'm always just amazed and in awe of what the athletes are doing physically, with the Winter Olympics there's more terror - I find things like luge and skeleton and ski jumping vicariously very stressful.

Plus they're sports - unlike, say, swimming, athletics, gymnastics - where I just don't really understand how they talent spot. I don't get how you discover you're a really good tobogganist.

And I've already checked out the curling schedule :ph34r:
Let's bomb Russia!

We should boycott them.

Only pariah states want to host them any more.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Don't care about Olympics, even if I prefer the Winter one.

From what I've read they do seem to be taking a positive turn with Tokyo and the coming winter Olympics potentially being the last of the dark age of peak capitalism.
Paris plans to use a lot of existing facilities with a minimum of new construction.
