The circus that is the Olympics.
If you think the Olympic big top is a joke, the illusion that the Olympic games are serious and meant to be taken seriously might be lost. Then they might have to rescript the whole thing, that's no fun.

Get the Olympic big top mug.It's interesting how the judges seem to focus more on the mistakes an athlete makes even if the athlete has done a routine like nobody else, something that is theirs, something that is them. That's one of the worst things about the Olympics, there is really no such thing as better or worse routine, and yet they have an entire international event dedicated to grading which routine was better or worse, and that's what athletes are taught, they have to get a certain score. It's like grading what food is better or worse, some people like pizza and hate Chinese food and some people like Chinese food and hate pizza, the whole thing gets silly.
Olympic judges seem like the worst kind of people, instead of the Olympic games being the games that they are, people get the impression that all this stuff is the most serious thing in the world if they listen too closely to the judges.

Get the Olympic judges mug.10 medals in Track and Field events for men's track, as many as Kenya's total number of medals for all events in both sexes, is not a nightmare Olympics. The media and people saying that is semi American are the half hearted ones, the track and field teams gave it their all and finished their Olympics with something to smile about.
For most countries, 10 medals would be a dream come true, not a Nightmare Olympics. In a pandemic with more time away from training and families than any other Olympics the United States participated in, not to mention hardly any veterans/leadership/teammates from past Olympics, 10 medals for men's track and field is special in it's own way.

Get the Nightmare Olympics mug.Why does it matter whether someone is a conservative tennis player or a liberal soccer player if they are trying to win a medal and not a vote?
The Olympics is not an election or a political rally, so what does politics have to do with any of it?

Get the Olympics mug.Thank god they are over, people watching/playing sports will now have about 2 weeks of no major sporting events/competitions, and they will get to actually enjoy summer for being summer. For the people watching/playing the NBA Finals past mid July with the Olympics starting the same week, it really was getting silly. The NBA Finals ended over a month before that just a few years ago, and they never needed to go further than mid June. It was nice to have a full summer of no major sporting events/finals/playoffs, just casual regular season baseball games.
It didn't help the Olympics that they came right after the NBA Finals. People like to get a little summer in to enjoy it without thinking about what sporting event/competition is next, since that starts to get silly at a certain point. Not everybody wants a summer filled with competition after competition, it gets dull and silly at the same time.
