    Are there any other Race gang signs you applaud?

    So you believe I 'applauded' Hitler? I think the face palms have scrambled your brain
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Not watching. Lindsey Vonn politicized it, so screw 'em all.

    Meh, she isn’t all of the, and I’m sure some of them might say that she doesn’t speak for them. Besides, the Olympics have been political all my lifetime.

    I haven't had cable or anything similar in years. If it isn't on Netflix or Youtube I don't watch it.

    Great bronze for Vonn - she had an excellent race. Very emotional interview toward the end. Great champion.

    I wish some of the Trump supporters out there weren't so snowflakey - all she really said was that she wouldn't go to the WH, and that she was skiing for America and not for Trump.

    Some people don't like Trump - it's okay. Deal w/ it.

    That’s too bad. We have terrible internet service out here in the sticks (Hughesnet) so no Netflix for us. So we rely on DirectTV. Events like the Olympics remind me why I glad I pay a little more for TV.

    when I was youthful and an avid breakneck, black diamond skier [88-93], I loved the winter Olympics. it was somewhat traditional to be @ beech mountain resort NC during the competitions. a few times we were the only skiers and had the place to ourselves because of -40 degree frostbite warnings. when the slopes are empty, you have liberty to do 70+ mph without danger of harming others. I reckon I am some bitter those days are long gone. the main danger was the sweat freezing and your socks becoming an ice block on the lift back up.
