So much for "discuss the latest happenings in sports"

The 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China

Opening Ceremony 08/08/08 7AM CST, broadcasts on NBC 6:30PM CST

Moar discussion needed.

wow completely forgot about this. i never really watched it bc i didn't really know what was going. i'll try watching this yr

wjr0025 · 08-07-2008, 09:15 PM

for me the big thing is whether the U.S. can take back the gold in basketball. It scares me that we played such a close game against Australia.....

in other news, doesn't it seem like a lot of our players are not playing for some reason? In various things too, mia hamm is out, joey cheek, and other really good gymnasts and what not.

and as a side note, it'll be extremely interesting to see if there's some serious kind of protest action against China. I just pray it's not violent, but I have feeling there might be.

rafaelzepe · 08-07-2008, 09:21 PM

I was never really interested in watching the Olympics, but I'll probably watch this year for the first time.

sanddeath · 08-07-2008, 09:32 PM

eh i like winter Olympics better.

cjk · 08-07-2008, 09:42 PM

I think the Olympics are pretty stupid lol. I think it's kinda pathetic how the only time every country can come together, is to fight with each other more than they already do. :p
