Those guys can really get creative with the seppuku. I remember one guy who laid his head on a piling that was being driven into the ground. Timed it just right. ---

I am trying to figure out why I care so little this time. It’s not like I was every a big fan of the Olympics. Still, I used to watch the soccer and the four 100m races (men’s, women’s, men’s 4x100 relay, women’s 4x100 relay). This time I just don’t care at all. Not sure why. EDIT: It’s a bit like F1 when that ugly Dutchman wins. Suddenly all the joy is just sucked out of F1. ---

i think it means you care more about the hype of some people instead of caring about the actual sports like a justin bieber fan… ---

There’s some truth to that. Usain Bolt is gone. He was a huge name that interested me. I absolutely don’t care about the “actual sports”. In fact I think most of them are stupid. Perhaps they should have chess and F1 in the Olympics. Those are stupid, too, but I am interested in them. ---

lol well if skateboarding, curling and climbing can be olympic sports, why not f1 or chess? > [@Reg](#): > > I absolutely don’t care about the “actual sports”. In fact I think most of them are stupid. i think thats a shame because that way you miss out on a lot of joy and beauty of the sports and ignore the talent from athletes that are not overhyped and overpaid at the same time it stimulates your negative thoughts because instead of celebrating zambia reaching the olympics to play football and cheering for barbra banda scoring a hattrick against the netherlands you focus on the 10 goals that were scored against them 😉 ---

11 men trying to kick a ball through a pair of sticks. Ridiculous at best. I watch it, but it is still ridiculous. ---
