Olympic Booing

This is the worst Olympics ever

 

This is one of my issues with the Olympic viewing experience as well.

Sometimes I want to see some fucking archery or taekwondo and they just don't show that shit.

 

end of thread.

 

Nothing will ever top 1984

 

Really? Here it's like you just get what's being broadcast at that time. If the network decides they want to show swimming, you're watching swimming.

 

It's fucking Brazil. The same country that was using laser pointers and hitting the cage with them the first time Aldo fought there.

 

is brazil. is normal.

 

Wow, explains a lot. I'm less disappointed. I have noticed, as said in the article that the Brazilians are liable to loudly boo someone and then cheer loudly in celebration of their victory.

 

Have you watched UFC events in Brazil? They like to boo foreigners there

 

Yes, I know they boo a lot. I was hoping for better at the Olympics. But that article explained it as kind of a cultural phenomena that is not meant to be malicious. It's more like how they feel engaged in the theatrics of the event.

It's kind of like if you went to a movie in a predominately black neighborhood and you were like, "Why is everyone talking at the screen? so rude." But really it's a cultural thing and you would be the odd one for not engaging in the film in such a way.

 

As an European, I dont know some things about culture in different parts of US. But what do you mean with "talking at the screen"? Sorry for stupid question, but it got my interest

 

Lol @ #5

 

Boo-urns

 

Ha. In America many black people will often become very engaged in the movies and will yell at the screen like "Get outta there! You're gonna get killed!!!" It's not like all black people do it at every movie, but if you are at a theater in a mostly black neighborhood, the theater is usually very loud with people shouting at the screen.

Martin Lawrence explains it:

 

cliffs: random shit we think is more important than letting other assholes enjoy the movie they paid for.

 

Yeah I remember the whole "Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi" we thought was really clever round 2000.

 

If you want to see something funny in regards to wrestling and what you're talking about, go to Jordan Burroughs' instagram page and look at any of the comments in his photos. Its filled with Iranians saying Yazdani Charati is going to beat the hell out of him (he's not btw).
