What’s ironic about that is the left has been telling us we shouldn’t stereotype women, but at the same time saying there are clear gender roles in society.

Call me old fashioned but I like my sports without a dose or even a sprinkling of social and/or political statements. Just let me watch it in peace free from all the people who want to be seen for something non sports related.

Only in the OIympics :
*We have a Egyptian fencer competing while 7 months pregnant
* American gymnast (who did not even make the team) Stephen Nodoroscik, an accountant by day, rode into the Olympics, competed in his ONE event, the pommel horse, killed it and helped US win Bronze in team gymnastics. Only competing in one event.
*The wrong national anthem was played while introducing the South Sudan athletes.
Many more odd happenings have already been mentioned.

They introduced South Korea as North Korea too. That's a pretty big mistake.
Ratings way up vs last Olympics. I guess the Greek festival skit didn’t turn anyone off.
The swimming has been fantastic. Almost every race is within a few hundredths.

Yea and I also believe I heard that several countries are playing mostly their u23 kids.
That’s the rule for all countries in the Olympics.
Yeah, Olympic men’s soccer isn’t a senior tournament. Thats why it doesn’t really have any cache at all.
Watching women’s team handball (Brazil vs France). I like this sport, not seen it before. I would have loved playing it when I was younger (basketball meets soccer/hockey meets dodgeball).
Effin clown world.
I never saw this coming, and always thought logic and reason would save us, but now .....
Pet peeve -- and I know there are lots of places where you can watch the Olympics if you want to see stuff bad enough -- but it bugs me to irrational levels that NBC only shows you gymnastics and swimming for basically two weeks straight. There are something like 400 events and a lot of incredible athletes participating, but it gets whittled down to two groups of athletes occupying countless hours on the main network. Wish they'd spread the love around a little more.
There are like 6 channels that broadcast all day. There were a bunch of different sports on TV today.
