theAteam 02/03/22 11:48:33 PM #11:	I think the fact it's in China is part of the reason for the tepid hype. Wasn't there a major network that wasn't even going to send reporters there? As for Tokyo, it was delayed which gave it some more hype plus people just generally get more excited for the summer games. Also we just had an Olympics last year. --- Buffalo Bills <cite>theAteam posted [p:962350188] in The Winter...

Quorthon109 02/03/22 11:57:34 PM #17:	I'll still watch the men's hockey but I don't think it starts for a while Also I just looked at the rosters and apparently the Chinese team has mostly North Americans on it? I recognize quite a few former players on the other teams, Eric Staal being the most notable by far but there's several others like Krejci and Bodker. --- http://i.imgur.com/Kjo08.jpg <cite>Quorthon109 posted [p:962350366] in The Winter...

LostForest 02/03/22 11:57:52 PM #18:	Given everything China has been up to the past 5 years, I refuse to watch them. The fucking circus they put on with Peng Shuai and the way the IOC is playing along with it is sickening. Normally I might swallow my pride and just watch anyway because I genuinely enjoy them, but the fact we just had the summer Olympics like 6 months ago makes it so I'm really not jonesin' for them again like I normally would. --- http://poorcouplesfoodguide.com Agender, curry fan, Top 10 lister, indie dev, gym hitter, musician, et al. <cite>LostForest posted [p:962350374] in The Winter...
