You shouldn't fall for western propaganda...

They're just mad about Snowden.

You guys looking on world through commercial capitalist media? You think you would find something else than bashing Russia in them?

This. Also, every olympics has problems. Enjoy the sports and world class competition instead of bashing the country.

Hmm.. this time we have the homosexual lobby fighting the Russians tooth and nail... for a change.

its a shame people take the attention off of the athletes and their performances by focusing on this nonsense

[Kiki112]

definitely the opening ceremony ring glitch as others aren't really relevant but this was in front of everyone and one of the most viewable and most important things

and they messed it up 

well, in Russia the ceremony ring opens you

the ring was pretty bad I'll give you that.  I just hate listening to Bob Costas bring up gay rights or some other political nonsense before the coverage kicks off ever night.  Just STFU and put the games on.

^ Agreed.  I found it hilarious Costas got a night off because he got another pink eye lol.

What's been your favorite Sochi Fail so far?

There's been a great list to choose from:  The $50 billion budget, the hotels being unfinished, the athlete hotels only giving twin sized beds, vast amounts of stray dogs, the opening ceremony ring glitch.....the public double toilet?

My favorite so far is US Bobsledder J. Quinn being trapped in his hotel bathroom, so he smashed through the middle of it lol.  Just go to Twitter and type #SochiProblems , too many laughs

Olympics ?... Hmm...  yeah, I heard there was some kind of olympics somewhere...

Ballgames and mindless fluff I call it (panem et circenses a.k.a bread & games it was called 2000 years ago), nothing left of its original spirit but big money, auctioning of television rights and rerouting of contractor money into dark channels. Easy airtime for the mass media. Basically business as usual in the 21st century.

Not saying there weren't shortcomings in this olympic event but I'm pretty sure the US is blowing it out of proportion because... Russia

[Malexo]

USA is super underwhelming right now.  Shaun white.  The women just lost against Canada which is an upset IMO.
Yeah.. been pretty tough that watch thus far.

Bob Costas whinging about gay rights= crocodile tears, as long as he supports infringing the right to self-defense, which gays need to exercise against government and non-government violent homophobes alike. Armed gays don't get bashed.

I agree. I didn't watch yesterday. I will read up what happened. Tuesday was a big let down.

Still early but USA up to #2 in medals and only 1 behind the leader (norway)!

[faiza1990]
