Is it ironic that's it's an American?


Maybe it is ironic in that it is a woman driving?

Sorry, I still don't get it.


Brazil had 60,000 firearm deaths in 2014.
The US had 8,000 and we have a 150%
larger population. Who could look at
these stats and possibly think we have
a gun 'problem' in the US. 5 people an
hour are shot and killed in Brazil. Now
that's a problem.

She lost in a thrilling finish
had a 30 sec lead at the bottom of the mountain, 3 riders working together caught her a couple hundred yards from the finish

The coverage has been great
All events live either TV or streaming
My favorite channel
The gold zone. A streaming channel that jumps around to all the gold medal moments live

Ironic?
I follow sports for entertainment
This race had it all, high stakes, strategy, danger, crashes, thrilling finish with an American in the mix.
I was entertained, that's what its all about
The gold medal channel is great, jumping to wherever gold medals are being contested live
Went from fencing to weight lifting to diving to archery

Sounds like that Red Zone Channel for the NFL. Too much jumping around for my tastes.

Me and AZ aren't the only ones not watching.

"The second night of NBC primetime coverage is off 32 percent from the comparable showing four years ago."

That's a huge number of people that
NBC collected money from advertisers
for. They'll be wanting credit for it big time.

It's in Rio, nobody cares.

Canada just dominated USA's top ranked mens volleyball team. Very exciting match
Watching Womens rugby, pretty rough
