Since I muted the sound & put some music on. I'm not so interested in who's supposed to be the favorite & all the other drama, I just like watching all the different athletes in all the different sports I only see every 4 years.
I still root for all the Americans though, I can't help being a homer.

I do find some of the upset winner stories pretty compelling, but the constant nattering is frequently irritating. So, the music makes sense.

There is so much joy in these videos. People being happy for their family and friends is universal.
