Good luck seeing any men's events on NBC during Prime Time. It's all women all the time. They pander to the Mothers and Daughters tuning in. Remember how the Olympics used to be covered on ABC with Jim McKay on Wide World of Sports. They used to show men's weightlifting. Or the 5000 meter men's race. These were highlight events. Now they are geared to tell heartwarming stories that appeal to women. If you watched the promos you would think that Simone Biles and Katie Ledecky are the only participants in the Olympics. Anytime the President or Vice President of NBC sports are interviewed they sidestep the issue and say you can watch every event and they are right. They will bury it on USA Network at 1am. How would you feel if you are the family of a male athlete who worked his whole life for this one moment and NBC says we don't care. It's all about ratings and we are going to show you a women's gymnastic floor exercise even though your son might be competing for a Gold Medal. What's even sadder is after competing in the Olympics that man will go back to some shitty job while a female gymnast gets million dollar endorsement contract. I'm all for equality but NBC has basically decided that they will rarely if ever show a men's event between 7:30pm-11pm unless it someone like Usain Bolt in the 100 meter or Phelps in the past racking up Gold Medals in swimming.

Team USA women defeats Germany after WNBA All-Star Game struggles.​

A'ja Wilson had 19 points and 14 rebounds to help the U.S. women's basketball Olympic team rebound from a rare exhibition loss to beat Germany 84-57 on Tuesday night.
The Americans lost to a team of WNBA All-Stars on Saturday before traveling over to London for the exhibition contest against Germany. These two teams are in the same pool in the Olympics and will play again in the Paris Games on Aug. 4.
The U.S. raced out to a 22-9 lead, scoring the first seven points of the game. By the end of the first 10 minutes, the Americans had built that 13-point lead.
The Germans, who will be making their first appearance in the Olympics, closed within 27-20 midway through the second quarter but could get no closer as the Americans led 44-32 at the half.
The U.S. scored the first seven points of the third quarter and Germany never threatened in the second half.
Luisa Geiselsoder scored 13 points to lead Germany.
The Americans were without Brittney Griner, who rested. It was her first trip overseas since she was arrested in 2022 in Russia and sentenced to nine years in jail for drug possession and smuggling. Ten months later, she was free after a high-profile prisoner exchange.
Now the two-time Olympic gold medalist was back suiting up for the U.S.
Members of the U.S. men's Olympic team sat courtside to watch the game. The Americans edged the Germans 92-88 in an exhibition game Monday night.

Who's going to get the courageous award for quitting this year?

Even the word courageous has been bastardized today, so damn weird

They give the Olympic flame to a man and a man dressed as a woman. Instead of choosing a real woman, they chose a man with a bunch of clown makeup and a wig. A mockery of womanhood and insulting to women everywhere. Clown show

Argentina equalize in the 116th minute. The biggest scandal in Olympics Football history. Morocco fans have stormed the pitch, fire crackers were flying and absolute chaos erupted. What a shame for the Olympics.

The first scandal of the Paris Summer Olympics is a fact. The game between Morocco & Argentina has been suspended after angry Moroccan fans stormed the pitch and the crowd threw firecrackers at the Argentine players after their equalizing goal.
