You're not going to the Tokyo Olympics

...unless you're an athlete.

Organizers of the Tokyo Olympics banned all spectators from events in the capital city, where a state of emergency was declared Thursday amid surging COVID-19 cases there.

Seiko Hashimoto, the president of the Tokyo Olympics Organizing Committee, said it was “regrettable” that the sporting event would be held in a limited format in the capital.

You couldn't pay me to watch it, anyway. Too many self-absorbed, America-hating professional victims pretending to be athletes.

@AbbeyRhode I wouldn't pay you to watch it. I might pay to watch it myself if I had to - at least some events.

I love the Olympics.

@Mamapolo2016 There was a time I did, too, and cheered on our athletes with pride. But like most other sports, it's become poisoned with politics and self-serving individuals, who don't care about anything else but promoting their own interests, one way or another.

@AbbeyRhode I disagree, but that's what makes a horse race.
