Olympics in 2021 - Who will you root for?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

In an era of extreme division along racial and gender lines I see athletes protesting their own country because of their racial identity. We have the issue of feminism pushing gender over nationality. We are also dealing with transgender participation in the Olympics.

Who will you be rooting for?

Athletes of your country, gender, race, sexual identity?

My Country

My Race

My Gender - Cis Gender Only

My Gender - Including Transgender athletes

Sexual Identity

[Twalli]

I always root for the US. We have won the most gold medals by a large margin. We have over 280 while the country with the second most is at 88.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I didn't think that was true so I looked it up and you are right

[Twalli]

I still have trouble believing it. I thought we might only be ahead by a few, not almost 200.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

[madgoat]

If my maths is right, the Europeans do well given the populations of their countries. The US always does well but it's also a big place.

[hellionthesagereborn]

My country obviously, its the only one that represents every one of my nation not just a tiny subsect of it.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Well said

[hellionthesagereborn]

Thank you.

[OlderAndWiser]

I will be cheering for my country, same as I have done for the past 66 years.

[VanillaSalt]

I won’t watch. Humanities lost and the only way I can fight back is denying woke companies my view. I never did coke or Gillette. I canceled Netflix and Disney + and Amazon prime. I won’t watch any sports that support this bullshit. I’ve even left behind some of my favorite Facebook pages over pride month getting out of control.


It’s not that I don’t support lgbtqxyw BLM or any of that bullshit… its that I don’t support my entertainment having a a political opinion… an athlete should not be able to monopolize my time as well as the companies time to push their own beliefs when I’m watching specifically to avoid such politics.

[VanillaSalt]

Murders against the law punishable by death… people still do it…

[SuccessfulHornDog]

but they can only do it once and then they are removed

[molonski2]

None of the above..
Plus " Root for " has an entirely different meaning where I come from , so I will " Root " for noone.
I will follow Australia , watch the various sports , hope for some surprise results , and have zero interest in the options presented in your poll.
Plus Japans actions will be of interest.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

What actions (from Japan) are you referring to?

[molonski2]

How the games are run in CV era.

[Sargentcaptain]

I'd rather have a colonoscopy with a poleaxe than watch this crap. If in the yester years it was a thinly disguised political pissing contest between nations, today it's an obvert bdsm orgy between political groups desperately trying to be oppressed when they are supported by half the country and most powerful politicians.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Ok fine, but how do you really feel about it?

[Sargentcaptain]

I don't care. I've got better things to do. But I do find it incredibly moronic when dipshits who are constantly getting benefits from their country are shitting on it because muh oppression. Oh, to be an oppressed minority (you know, as in the top 1% financially) who's a globally famous athlete who can get millions of dollars doing what they like, not to mention earn more in a single advertisement campaign than I will my entire life.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Did you hear that Math is racist?

[Sargentcaptain]

Ah yes, I'm actually the origin of that. I swear white kids in my high school would screw around saying that math is racist because Asians are better at it. But seriously, I can think of another group that thinks that white people are just better at math, I don't think that the woke-ys would like them though. They have a different one handed salute.
I'm not even sure that the left is the left anymore. Half of their talking points are taken from the KKK. If they continue down that path the Germans should accuse them of plagiarizing Mein Kampf. Hell, they already hate Jews, think that only the natives are allowed to live on the land and think that minorities are dumb. The only real difference is that leftoids feel guilty for that, while the auth right are proud of it.
But I do like that a lot of our understanding of mathematics comes from the Middle East and India. It's almost as if minorities can also be good mathematicians, or maybe I'm just a far right sympathizer for thinking that people are generally the same everywhere.

[hannahjo022]

My country USA duh! Whats the point of watching the Olympics if you are not going to root for your country?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I agree but everyone has their own allegiances. We are living in a time where hanging an American flag is equated with racism and white Supremacy. Those are not my rules, that is from the poisonous left.

[mrkdvsn]

I will root for those Christian athletes, of any nation, who are modest and humble, and give credit, thanks and glory to GOD for their athletic health, and their opportunity to participate in the Olympics.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Will you know who they are before the competitions start or only after they win? Just curious

[mrkdvsn]

Could go either way. Rather than use the word "root", a better word might be "respect" or be "happy for"

[Stoner710]

None of them because I don’t really watch sports except wrestling which is fake

[SuccessfulHornDog]

They have wrestling in the Olympics, Just an FYI

[Stoner710]

True but Greco Roman is boarding vs a super plexus from the top rope Kurt angle tried it and it was terrible

[Exterminatore]

We know all the libtards in the U. S. will be rooting for China.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Do you think that the American Men's Basketball team would throw a game to the Chinese men's team as payback for all of the $$$ that China is spending to divide the US

[Exterminatore]

Well…. we live in an era where inverting your penis makes you a woman, there are 48 genders and pregnancy is a social construct…. so….. anything is possible.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

and Math is racist. Don't forget that little gem

[Exterminatore]

Oh yeah. And the weather is too. Forgot those.

[John_Doesnt]

I'm hoping the Olympics get canceled before they spread covid around Tokyo. It's a stupid event that usually hurts the host country's economy.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I am sure that they appreciate your concern

[John_Doesnt]

Every country needs to cancel the Olympics. All they do is ruin the country's economy and ecosystem.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Why do you care?

[Adam_West]

of course:

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Save us Batman

[Adam_West]

okay!

[andreasderjuengere]

I have lost interest for ''big'' sports events for a while already.
This all has become too commercial - and as we can see, politics and ''intellectual'' topics sink in as well.
I'm out.

[douride2]

I'm going to boycott the Olympics this time around.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

How come?

[douride2]

I have no interest in it this year.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

good reason

[TacosRAwesome]

My partner's country coz mine has no hope in hell in getting a medal.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Is he from Greece?

[TacosRAwesome]

Nah England.

[Anonymous]

I barely watch the Olympics, and now I have less reasons. I used to check in on Tennis and gymnastics, but with all this fruit loop crap and America hatred there is nothing to watch.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

It is a sign of the current times

[Opinion Owner]

Sad, but true!

[pleasestopthis]

No one in particular. I just enjoy watching certain parts but I don't follow anyone.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Which sports are your favorites?

[888theGreat]

I like fencing , but that is winter sports I think

[pleasestopthis]

I like gymnastics, swimming, diving and figure skating (winter olympics)

[SuccessfulHornDog]

@888theGreat I think it is a summer event. Ice fencing is part of the Winter Games

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I enjoy the swimming too. I usually end up seeing gymnastics and diving as well because they always televise those more than some other events

[more_than_a_guy]

Now you prove something with making this poll, USA is focused on gender and race, and it divides you people...

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I agree. It does divide us and it is detrimental to a strong and productive nation

[Massageman]

For it to be over, primarily.
I'm just bracing for the"spirit of friendly competition" to turn into an idiotic political arena, more so than it already has.

[ninaneedshelp]

My country of course, it's not even a question in my mind. For me it is, has and always will be America first!

[teodosiosantos4-Br]

Claro que vai ser para a seleção Brasileira ( no fut masc a gente papa mais uma)

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Preisdent Biden diz que Espanha vai ganhar o ouro

[genericname85]

i don't really give a shit honestly xD whoever wins, good for them.

[NoLookingAtSoleil]

It is normal for people (and animals) to group (flock) with their own (colours, real gender, abilities, preferences, beliefs/identity)

[Kingofkings1992]

I would have to care about the Olympics to root for someone.

[RealMarek]

Vote F: None of the above.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I don't remember putting in that option

[thotmas97]

How exactly do you root for a sexuality?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Root for an individual athlete which identifies in a particulat way

[EyesOfGod]

I hope no one goes to the Chinese Olympics.

[EyesOfGod]

Also aren't trans ruining the womens olympics? There should just be a third category for unisex. No original man should be allowed in the womens olympics its 100% an unfair advantage.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Do you think that there will be a boycott of the Chinese winter Games next year?

[EyesOfGod]

I hope so but big companies suck Chinese slong to get money so I don't know.

[Astarlessnightsky]

No one, as i won't watch it.

[OddBeMe]

Gays for ice-capades for sure.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

You'll have to wait 7 months for the Winter Games

[OddBeMe]

Dammit!

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Patience is a virtue. Your wait will pay off

[888theGreat]

I guess Russia since I am a Trump supporter

[SuccessfulHornDog]

LOL. Well Played

[888theGreat]

I won't be for any guys that say they are female , or females that think they are a guy

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Not even if they are a Russian Trump supporter?

[888theGreat]

Nope , I hope those finish last

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Dohhh

[Dargil]

I don't care. Let the best XX and XY athletes win.

[Anonymous]

No one. I won't be watching.

[Opinion Owner]

I refuse to watch something where they allow MTF trannies, to take medals away from biological women. It's just wrong..

[SuccessfulHornDog]

We are living in strange days. I don't know how many MTF athletes will be competing this year but I suspect it will grow by leaps and bounds in the next 20 years

[Opinion Owner]

Its sad really because it takes away from deserving biological women..

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I agree

[karaspara]

My country go Team GB

[Clarke498]

No one. Couldn't care less about the Olympics tbh.

[Homer79]

Two Countries Greece and US.

[anylolone]

None of those.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Why not?

[anylolone]

Why yes?

I'll watch, just not root.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

oh, i misunderstood your answer

[msc545]

Nobody - who cares?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

You don't like the Olympics?

[msc545]

Nah. Not into sports.
