My personal theory about why some US folks are just meh about the #Olympics is that US network coverage universally shows only Team USA's inexorable march to dominant victory over hapless opponents.
The vast majority of other countries are there to compete, to have a good time, to show sportsmanship, to be good ambassadors for their nations and their cultures.
I feel that if we saw more of *that* and a smidge less "U-S-A! U-S-A!" cowbell, hearts and minds might be changed a little.

I"m not watching much because I simply don't care about any of the Americans this time around, and I'm not sports-fluent enough to know much anything else either.
That said, we tuned in to watch South Korea vs. China in Women's Archery and that was pretty exciting.
And I'm enjoying the right-wing freak-out over the diversity of the opening ceremonies.
