I thought Clint was like swiss for some reason.
Not looking it up.

And Durant is a good rebounder. So is Tatum.

i just hope whomever is representing doesn’t go and do something dumb, like eat a pork burrito

so, no spectators at all in tokyo

gotta think performances will be down across the board without any fans cheering competitors on

I'd mostly agree but there might be some introverts who will perform better without the pressure of a live crowd.

Sounds like there is some growing pressure in Japan to cancel the Olympics altogether.

All of Pdub's best sexual performances have occurred with no one else in the room.

If the International Olympic Committee and Japanese government don't feel it's safe for VACCINATED and masked Japanese citizens to attend events while physically distanced from one another - I would think many countries would/should be very hesitant to send their elite athletes there to compete.

Only 15% of Japanese citizens are fully vaccinated.

I heard the same thing about 10 minutes ago.
Not sure if it's more because of a lack of available vaccines, people believing they have natural immunity, or people thinking the fungus is a hoax and/or the vaccine is evil.
A question I have is what about all the Japanese who have been hired to work the games - do they need to be fully vaccinated?

And with record times.

toyota pulled sponsorship ads in Japan

apparently, they’d rather not be associated

Women's soccer get spanked.

that was surprising

edit: they are a rival of sorts though, right?

don’t the teams have a history?

and 55 positive covid tests with just the US contingency since july 1, all non-athletes

A history of not being able to beat Sweden in the Olympics, yes.

I could not possibly be less interested in these Olympics.

I'm in the same boat. I will watch maybe periodically. But I didn't even know women's soccer started the other day. Had no idea.

Being fanless just robs too much of the environment. And, unlike college basketball or baseball (which I could sort of get into, fanless), I'm just not invested.

My 7 year old daughter likes watching the gymnastics so we will watch that when it's on. I will watch the mens basketball, but will likely cheer for USA to lose (weird, i know).
