I don’t care….I didn’t watch this year and I’m never watching again. After reading the above article, I think this year was appalling, especially for the athletes to be put in those conditions! The Paris Olympic committee worried more about being woke than the games and the athletes themselves. Disgraceful! J. FARLEY 4 months ago 4 for 10 and I don’t care, they are like watching paint dry, or a Kamala speech and the passage of time! John Bass 4 months ago 5/10 Just goes to show you how much I care about the woke Olympics…I used to, but not anymore. Richard 4 months ago 4/10…not a fan Joearcher 4 months ago I got 2 out of 10, shows how much I care about the Olympics. One I knew, Jesse Owens, one dumb luck Osain Bolt. Broccoli Free Zone 4 months ago I brought up name Fosbury in conversation the other day during my 48 seconds of watching WOKE Olympics. He invented the flop while winning gold (USA) in high jump. It is frequently used now, my wife says. It is also a good thing (they say) that 2 MEN are competing for gold and silver in the WOMEN’S division for boxing. Kreu 4 months ago As a kid I remember watching the ’72 olympics so anxiously and with great anticipation, then the shooting started, and that was my initiation into an interest in politics, and influenced a career in counterintelligence and counterterrorism, real world serious stuff. After that for me, the olympics became something to respect and be proud of our athletes and of course the ’84 winter defeat of the USSR hockey was amazing. But of more recent decades, and long before this current summer olympics, I have had zero interest in them for all the reasons cited below, including allowing “pros” to participate. In fact, I almost did not take this quiz because of my disdain for the IOC and the circus they have turned the olympics into. But I reconsidered because it was titled “History.” (Yes, I know it should be capital lettered, but it doesn’t deserve it! Bob S 4 months ago 9/10 but should have been 10/10 – once a sports fan always a sports fan. Elise 4 months ago Not another Olympics topic all week! Not doing it. I’ll be back next week. Or not. Charles H 4 months ago 7/10 and I’m ashamed I ‘guessed’ so many correctly since I haven’t watched any of this corrupt display! Mary 4 months ago 1/10 Got one lucky guess!!! Guess you know I almost never watch the Olympics. Sam 4 months ago 4/10. I remember when the Olympics used to MEAN something. My hat is off to all the athletes who train and train to get there, but I have definitely lost interest in all the political and social BS we are subjected to now. Dan 4 months ago 7 correct! Or should I say, lucky guesses?? Probably… Mike L 4 months ago Could care less, with the woke and blasphemy of the opening ceremony. Time to give the olympics the “Bud Light” treatment. Hit the IOC in their pocketbook. Pat R 4 months ago Bombed with only 3 out of 10. But I’ve never been much of an Olympics viewer, much less avid watcher. Bob 4 months ago 2 out of 10, you can tell I am a big fan of the Olympics 🙁 Paul Lubell 4 months ago I had 8 of 10 and thought this was a normal result. I am surprised how many people had results ranging from 2 to 4, and even more so, that they are bragging about it. Melinda 4 months ago 2/10 right, my worst score ever! I don’t pay much attention to the Olympics and am not a good guesser, I guess. LOL. Connie P. 4 months ago 3/10. Could care less about the Olympics. Jim D. 4 months ago 3 out of 10, I just don’t give a hoot. KateL 4 months ago 4/10. Never watched so all were guesses except for two. Lana 4 months ago Surprised myself…6/10. Rich D 4 months ago 6/10 Raymond Summers 4 months ago 7/10 lilly 4 months ago 4/10 Beca 4 months ago Ouch, 4/10, oh well! wpDiscuz280Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast Book Club AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details The AMAC Store Sweepstakes Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
