1. Yeah, if it became a thing, I would. The FIFA World Cup 2026 (portion in the US) too.

It is absurd for these corrupt sports organizations to dictate that athletes from all over the world subject themselves to abuse at the hands of the US government.

I don't expect this one to be any different.
I do watch the figure skating and ice dancing but that isn't featured in the summer Olympics, damned if I know why.
