[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question:  How many watch the women's gymnastics competition in the Olympics vs the men's?

I'm pretty sure that few of us could name the men who compete, but most of us know who Simone Biles is.
Also, Mary Lou Retton. Shannon Miller. etc.

A lot has been said lately about the "Miracle on Ice."  I remember where I was and the excitement when the team won.  So, of course the men had more hype.

This is not an either/or situation.

We watch both in our house.

I would be just as critical of the women's gymnastics team if they laughed about the accomplishments of the men's team.

Also, what about the comment of "close the northern border"? You're being paid millions of dollars to play in a league that is played in another country and that's what you yell out during your medal celebration?[/quote]

That one does not bother me as much.  Yes not in spirit of the Olympics but Canadian players bashing on USA players and vice versa probably happens all the time.    I am sure plenty of time is spent ribbing each other constantly and I could definitely see Canadian players wanting to close the southern border as a joke.

If that joke had come from the president of the United States.... Then it would have been in really poor taste.
