Calm down, it was a joke. Everyone needs to lighten up around here. Kamala has you all in a tizzy.

Isn't the olympic tournament U23 or something like that now? I don't think most of the big stars play but I could be wrong?

Looks like it is all U-23 squads at the Olympics, and the U.S. is competing, FYI.

Yeah football should be removed from the Olympics. Nobody watches it and they don't even have the best players there.

But I'm looking forward to athletics, tennis, badminton, wrestling and cycling. And of course basketball. Probably will check other stuff too whenever I have the time.

did you know?
art used to be a category at the olympic games.
'Art, broken down in five categories, featured as a medal competition at Olympic Games between 1910 and 1948. Entered paintings had to be inspired by sport'

Jack B Yeats (brother of WB Yeats) won silver for this in the 1924 Olympics (The Liffey Swim)

this was the medal (silver)

they should bring back art at the olympics

Jesus, what the referee did at the end of Morocco Argentina was incredible. Never saw it...to wait 2 hours, go to VAR, and then play 3 minutes more after he already gave 15 minutes more to play?

Damn what an incompetent.
