Glorious SPAM!
| Nope. I haven't watched since they split the summer and winter games. Lost it's charm and didn't seem as special to me after that.
Even if I did I wouldn't watch this year. Screw the Chicoms. |

| I am ECSTATIC the NHL decided not to compete!!! Professional players have NO PLACE in the Olympics, but we've known the Ruskies have been sending professional players for DECADES! It thrills my heart they got their asses handed to them by a bunch of nobody college boys in 1980...USA! USA! USA! USA! Al Michaels [RIP], "Do you believe in MIRACLES?!?!?"

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |

| Another hell no.
I used to like the winter Olympics, watched skiing, ice hockey, lots of it.
The last +/- two years have sucked beyond belief, and even if I wanted to, I can't find the time. All because of the host country. I can't believe the world courts, bodies, governments, whatever, have such teeny tiny testicles to allow this, forget pushing back with any sanctions. Its f**king surreal |

| Will I watch? Not a chance, but then again, I rarely ever do.

| For several decades now every city that has hosted Olympics has wished like hell they never did. So, I'm glad Beijing is doing it, but I won't be watching any of it. |

Forgot about those. Yeah, usually watch some of that, too. As of 10:30 ET today: With 140 respondents: 2/3 usually watch some or all of the Winter Olympics. 87% won't watch them at all this year. If that's at all indicative of the general population it won't make whichever network's carrying it very happy.

| I've watched the Winter Olympics in the past, but won't watch it this year. I do not care for the Summer Olympics at all. I don't think I even watched the last Winter Olympics.
