It's Saturday, thus it is poll day!

The Olympics are almost over and I don't know what to make of these games. There were some exciting and memorable moments. Canada had a pretty good showing with 25 medals but a lot of the good seems to have gotten lost in the controversy and politicization of the games. I found I just got tired of it all by the second week.

What is your overall feeling of the 2024 Paris Olympics?

Great- Loved every minute4.5%

Good- Enjoyed, stayed interested22.7%

Ok- Enjoyed but loss interest31.8%

Bad- Didn't enjoy much9.1%

Terrible- Olympics sucked 4.5%

Exhausting-Too much controversy/politics4.5%

@Public_N_M_E auto drafted for you and @Coinsreporter

41 sats \ 1 reply \ @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears 11 Aug

Thanks, @Public_N_M_E -- I thought I had autodraft turned on, but I hadn't double checked.

No problem, I had a bit of a faff around with the system tryna work out how to get it to auto draft 🤣 but we got there and it was a fun auction. Make sure you log in and check over your team, you may want to make some trade offers or if you just don't like certain players utilise the waivers.

I only watched a handful of highlights. It never really grabbed my interest.

The actual games paled in comparison to the fun of @Coinsreporter's pool.

51 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby OP 10 Aug

Agree the pool made it a lot more fun. Even though I should stick to baseball pools. Olympics apparently not my thing.

65 sats \ 0 replies \ @Coinsreporter 10 Aug

Thanks!! Without you and @grayruby, I couldn't even imagine of running any sort of pool.

India didn't perform very well so I watched only 2 or three games.

11 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby OP 10 Aug

Yes, too bad about the wrestler that got disqualified.

31 sats \ 0 replies \ @BitcoinAbhi 10 Aug

For only 100gm. Very disappointed moment

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @Coinsreporter 10 Aug

India is just one short of its highest number of medals ever and you calling it a bad performance!! I'd call it a very good one.

I enjoyed it to a certain extent, I enjoyed it especially because Spain won gold in football and I enjoyed tennis too, little else.

71 sats \ 2 replies \ @TomK 10 Aug

The highlight for me was the triumph of Novak Djokovic, who I really wanted to see win for a variety of reasons. Now he really is the greatest of his sport!

68 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby OP 10 Aug

That was a great moment for the GOAT especially right off the disappointing Wimbledon Final.

41 sats \ 0 replies \ @TomK 10 Aug

And what a great reaction.... all this pressure since 2020 fell off him

61 sats \ 2 replies \ @SatsMate 10 Aug

After watching that opening, I just chose to opt out this time around. Saw some funny memes on shooting, and cool pictures of swimmers.

I don't like supporting the humiliation rituals and downfall of society. I also don't want to participate in Bread and Circus behavior.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby OP 10 Aug

Completely understand.

I have to admit ping pong 🏓 and badminton 🏸 are fun to watch

61 sats \ 4 replies \ @BTC_Bellzer 10 Aug

I've worked a previous Olympics and I didn't watch 1sec of live coverage and probably less than 10mins of total coverage, what a complete joke.

21 sats \ 3 replies \ @grayruby OP 10 Aug

Hey, Bellzer. Haven't seen you on in awhile. Are you joining the NFL pool this year?

50 sats \ 2 replies \ @BTC_Bellzer 11 Aug

Been trying to get a better job, new gig starts tomorrow. Whens the draft and whats the buy in?

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby OP 11 Aug

I was talking about the NFL Survivor Pool. We just completed the Fantasy draft last night. The Survivor Pool will be 20k sats buy in and I will send out the details later in the month. I will tag everyone that participated last year.

Congrats on the new gig.

Thanks, excited to get a raise lol

Didn’t watch

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @Carresan 10 Aug

I have enjoyed as much as possible. Tried to be aside of political issues. Sports are sports, politicians should stay aside. Spain has done worse than expected but that is always the same. I have enjoyed football, tennis , handball, some athletics and judo. Also canoe slalom was really funny!

The Seine river being too dirty for swimming.

The terrible accommodations at Olympic village. No air conditioning. Limitations on food and meat. Uncomfortable beds.

21 sats \ 3 replies \ @grayruby OP 10 Aug

Yes, this is my point. The opening ceremonies, the issues with accommodations, the river being a health risk, the controversy over men fighting as women. It all detracted from the event.

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Bell_curve 10 Aug

I watched some of the swim events. Even swimming was a disappointment because the pool was too shallow and slowed everyone down.

I guess the highlight was the men’s 100 meter photo finish. But Noah Lyles is hard to cheer for after his obnoxious entrance in the 200 meter final.

USA men still can’t exchange a baton in the relay race. Another disqualification

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby OP 10 Aug

The Canadian 4x100 relay team thanks them for their disqualification.

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @Bell_curve 11 Aug

The first exchange was a disqualification

Hilarious

USA team USA 🇺🇸 won men basketball 🏀

I was wrong

Serbia was close France got it to down to 3, 79-82

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby OP 11 Aug

Didn’t see any of the final but the semis against Serbia was a really good game. Looked like Serbia had it in the bag.

Not excited...so waiting for English Premier league next week. 😁

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @Coinsreporter 10 Aug

I would say I loved it every minute because I had to for the sake of computing polls! Also, I think that all the controversy happening this time are fun from one angle and sometimes sad.

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @IamSINGLE 10 Aug

You're right. By the end of first week, I also lost my interest in it.

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @justanumber 10 Aug

Haven't watched one second it.
