Olympics Ratings Set to Crash, Research Suggests ‘Get Woke, Go Broke’ Effect Partly to Blame, Report

https://www.dailywire.com/news/olympics-ratings-set-to-crash-research-suggests-get-woke-go-broke-effect-partly-to-blame-report

I went to a local bar/pizza place near work yesterday to get a bite to eat. They're weren't airing the Olympics. Some baseball game was playing instead. I see 0 interest in the games, and nobody I know has even mentioned the Olympics other than to make some fun of it.

Glad to see the US womyn's soccer team get taken out. I really dislike Megan Rapinoe. She's just such an disingenuous asshole. Reminds me of Anita Sarkeesian who doesn't bring up actual issues, but constantly manufacturers them. This 4th wave of feminism is just a parody of the original feminism.

When my mother was first married in the early 1960's, the second she got married, her boss fired her, because, well she was married. She was a graphic artist. I don't know if she intended to keep her job or not, but when her aunt was a teacher, her aunt had to plan her pregnancies so she would give birth in summer otherwise she could lose her job.

But when I was in school, I had a female math teacher that consistently had pregnancies in fall, so she was out of school, for 3 months, during the start of the school year. She did this two times. I ended up taking AP math through a television system with a town 30 miles away with an experimental microwave IT system. She actually complained that they weren't using her to teach AP, but she was never around for 1/3rd of the school year. It's a liability to hire women, and that's just a biological fact.

If she had legitimate complaints, I'd listen to her, but she's bitching that she's not paid enough, when there's FAR less interest in women's soccer than men's soccer. The dumb idiot doesn't realize she's essentially an entertainer. If she draws less of a viewership because she's a woman, too fucking bad. She MUST realize this, but she bitches and moans about it anyhow.

I don't think she can be this stupid, but she PRETENDS to be. Fix real problems, don't bitch and moan about fake ones.

It's like a fat, ugly 70 year old woman complaining that people like her aren't getting enough attention in beauty pageants. Yeah, they are failing at being entertaining, and no amount of work will fix that. Too bad. At least it hasn't seemed to hit the STEM fields so much although now I'm reluctant to go to a doctor who is black because of this goofy new affirmative action, and this pains me, because when I was a kid, my doctor was a black man, that came to my shithole hick town, he was BRILLIANT, and he got through all the bullshit and crap of segregation.

You want to find the best person in a field? Find out who is is discriminated against - today, that's white and Asian people. They are given the most hurdles to jump today. We must return to being a blind meritocracy. I miss the 1990's so much, when Silly Con Valley was exactly that.

richwicks says

We must return to being a blind meritocracy.

There was a good line somewhere in Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire which said that when people were judged on their own merit, the empire flourished, and it declined when people were given positions based on nepotism.

Ask yourself, what's the purpose of Olympics now? Why, to sell more ads, of course. The same purpose other useless things like Fuckbook and Twatter have.

Japan really set out to make it very grueling for the woke pansy pussy Commies. None of them have done jack shit but virtue signaled while bitching about the oppressive heat and humidity. It seems like every event, our Woke Jack asses are bitching and moaning, while real warriors are raking in the Gold unopposed.
I say every Olympics should be the most challenging oppressive competition the competitors have ever faced, or it's just a beauty pageant otherwise.

Good on Japan!

Eric Holder says

You'll never believe me, but the purpose of Facebook and Twitter are censorship and propaganda. They don't get money based on "ads", that may be a conduit for the BRIBES they receive, but they don't make money on advertisement.

Have you ever bought a product because you saw an ad on either of those platforms?

Tenpoundbass says

while bitching about the oppressive heat and humidity

I went to Japan with the wife in August of 2013, and it was horribly hot and humid. That's why the tickets were cheap and the hotels had a lot of space, but we didn't know it until we got there.

When my wife heard that the Olympics were going to be in late July and early August, she reminded me of that.

And I think maybe having the Olympics now is a way for the Japanese to fill those hotel rooms.

farmer2021 says

Hindoooo

I just ignore you because of this. Talk like an adult rational human being, and not a fucking bigot.

Listening to you, is absolutely equivalent to me listening to a Jewish supremacist, some asshole from Stormfront, or a twat from BLM. Present your case logically.

You're just making claims, you don't provide any evidence for me to cross check, verify your reasoning is correct because you provide no reasoning, you just talk and talk and talk. You're not credible to me. You just seem like a fucking bigot and I don't mind if you're a bigot, I don't care but why would I align my thinking with you, when you don't expose your rationale for what is supposedly "your" thinking? You might as well be a rabid cult member repeating the propaganda that has been drilled into your head until you confuse that propaganda with your own actual thinking.

Patrick says

Haha, I can see you haven't seen any of the broadcasts. There are no spectators, because of the Big Scare.

https://youtu.be/HPg7bZV2myY?t=85

The stands are entirely empty. Japan has been the US' bitch since WWII.

Hotels are empty because of the Big Couf.

To farmer2021 says

@farmer2021

Let me tone down myself a bit and explain my position.

I don't understand your continued hatred of Hindus. It's not a religion I share, I don't understand it well, I find some of their practices simply barbaric and primitive, and I object to their caste system. That I understand. I have this feeling for ANY religion, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikh, Shintoism, "atheism" (if that's a religion), anything.

I have seen, virulently racist Indians in the United States in Silicon Valley. I know and have seen Indian people in positions of authority for hiring, insist on hiring ONLY Indians, even of certain castes. Some of them are blatant bigots. That's fine. I don't want to work for a fucking bigot, and I don't want to work among idiots that only got their position through birthright.

Bigotry, solves itself.

But please, explain your insane ranting hatred. That's how I see it, that's all I see you post about. Do a coherent write up. If I miss it, point me a link to it next time I whine and moan about your rants but you have to lead me to a logical conclusion, explain your thinking, and allow me to at least explore if your conclusion is correct or not. I don't accept opinions just because somebody screams to me, I must have your reasoning to draw a parallel opinion.

I live in the United States, I don't care about your religion, your sexual orientation, your sex - I care only about your competence. If some asshole were under me hiring people based on some stupid bigotry, not only would I fire them, I'd sue them. And if you worked for me, and I believed you were refusing to hire "Hindooos" I'd sue your fucking ass, blacklist you, and do my utmost to utterly destroy you because your stupid, inane bigotry, is excluding talent that would otherwise be welcome for the health of the corporation. That's my fiduciary duty to my corporation.

We didn't do away with this stupid bigotry because it was "the right thing to do", it was profitable thing to do. This is why we became the strongest, most powerful nation on the planet.

farmer2021 says

As a Sikh we are asked to see "All human race as one".. But this doesn't mean we stop taking stand against divisive forces.

YOU are divisive. I'm fucking sick of it.

farmer2021 says

Discrimination is Hindooo cult trait not mine

Yep, discrimination is a "Hindooo cult trait" not yours. I see now.

You're so fucking open minded you can't even be bothered with a correct spelling, you can only be derisive. Because you're so fucking open minded and fair and shit. You're not a fucking bigot at all. Pat yourself on the back, open, fair minded, not bigoted, person.

I'm certain there are some "good ones" though. All I ever see you do, is the same fucking propaganda day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year.

farmer2021 says

I am writing against a "cult" which has codified discrimination in Bharat and appropriated great culture.

You're simply projecting. You are the most obviously bigoted person here. It consumes all your time here. All you do is project hate:

https://www.patrick.net/comments?a=farmer2021

It's a waste of energy. Just observe. I think it's a waste of time to try to influence.

@ farmer2021 you turn every thread into something about evil Hindus.

I've seen that. First a company hires a manager who is one of those types, then after a while everyone is replaced with guys like him. No one can say anything, because criticizing a "minority" is racist. Many Americans have a fantastic way of nicing our way out of existence.

True.

Nepotism is still not really punished in America. It should be, because it greatly weakens everyone's will to work hard.

It doesn't bother me. It just opens up opportunity for competition. Here, let me give you to search engines:

https://www.google.com
https://www.yandex.com

Try both. They are entirely independent. The second is Russian. You WILL get returns in Russian. For technical information, I go to tend to go to yandex. They are just obliterating themselves. But I bet google has a diverse group of people working for them, they just suck. Google is a SHADE of what it once used to be.

The United States basically chipped away at the USSR by doing something unimaginable - they reported the truth about the USSR. Now Russia is returning the favor, and I'm not being snarky, this IS a favor. If we had a decent power structure, the truth wouldn't hurt them, but they are liars, criminals, hypocrites, and general scum. You know what "Russian propaganda" actually is? It's just the truth at this point. It's nearly effortless to report the truth.

I guess you can pass the names to @richwicks as he wants to take action.
... Or he just wants to take action against "people who exercise their their freedom of speech" only and actually do want discrimination and nepotism punished.

I don't care what you say, I only care what you do.

Say any stupid shit you want. I don't care.

Let me give you an example. Nothing Trump said mattered to me, his actions is all that mattered. His actions were to not start new wars, and apparently tamped down a few. I don't care he murdered General Soleimani, because as a general, his job was to kill people. I cared he didn't start war with Iran, even though there were 3 false flags to try to make him do this.

Twice with the bullshit limpet mines on foreign ships.
Once with the supposed attack on a Sa'ud petrochemical plant that was most likely done by the Houthis.

There is no point in listening to people unless they are exchanging information, and no politician ever does that. No propagandist does either.

You've still not explained your animosity toward Hindus either. I specifically asked a reasoned explanation of that. All religions are corruptible. Abrahamic religions, in my opinion, are nothing more than political tools. Dharmic religions... Seems like Jainism is genuinely a decent one, but we are constantly misled. Jains seem to be like the Jews of Asia, except they don't seem to cause conflict or upset among the natives.

I just observe and I don't understand the entire overall structure and purpose of these religions at this point in time.

RC2006 says

They were really wearing BLM shirts?

They should be wearing shirts that say "SOCCER DOESN'T MATTER TO US"

The only reason they are even on that field is that soccer does matter to some people. But not for long.

farmer2021 says

You are the one who said that you will fight against people who discriminate for jobs and sue their ass.

No.

I said I'd sue YOU, if you were under my employ if you starting turning away superior candidates because of your bigotry, because you would be harming the company.

If you work for my competitor - well fucking awesome! More power to you. I'm LAUGHING as I see these woke companies implode. There's at least 3 companies which will be as relevant as Yahoo! is in under a decade.

I hope and pray to see Google, Facebook, and Twitter hire as MANY as possible bigots and assholes as possible. I want those companies to be inundated with them.

It's slow, and it takes time before people realize previous corporations have become useless shit. People still use Google, because they haven't looked for alternatives. I never knew why people used Facebook or Twitter. Those are sites for idiots, and there was never any reason to use those sites. Keep the idiots away from the useful sites. That's fine.

whats the deal with the synchronized sports? They seem kinda stupid to me.

farmer2021 says

So You want to make my non-existent bigotry as profitable and sue for expressing my "freedom or speech". Get you "logic" examined.

I don't care about your bigotry really.

I'm saying you're a bigot. And I'm tired of you constantly trying to propagandize people into your point of view.

But you're free to be a bigot, as long as you never work underneath me. Your bigotry is a liability to anybody that hires you, and if you work independently, it's a detriment to you.

farmer2021 says

Patrick already provide you "ignore" button. Use it.

No.

farmer2021 says

I think @Patrick himself is on bit of slippery slope by thinking of banning "Jab promoters", So there is anyway very little "freedom" on net, You guys already won.

Honestly, he just kicked off Donald, who was an obvious troll. I disagree with this action, although it does muddle up conversation. I think it's important to learn to recognize disingenuous liars and propagandists. I find this is only possible to see through experience. At least, that's true for me. Perhaps other people are better at spotting dishonest people.

You're not a troll. You're a bigot and I'm pointing it out. I'm pointing right at you, bigot. I don't mind bigots at all really. I'm just saying, it clouds your judgement.

No one wants to watch tranny and blm posturing shit. Faggots ruined olympics.

richwicks says

there's FAR less interest in women's soccer than men's soccer.

perhaps womyn soccer players should be prettier and more scantily clad. Then there would be interest in that sports.

That is like saying you have the biggest cock in the Unsullied Army. (Game of Thrones reference)

Patrick says

True.

Nepotism is still not really punished in America. It should be, because it greatly weakens everyone's will to work hard.

Nepotism is like racism. And you are not going to create a level playing field by punishing the racists and nepotism. In fact, unless you own the playing field you don’t have power to make it level. And let’s face it, the owners of the playing field don’t want to give up their ownership.

So to level the playing field you must convince the owner that it would be in their best interest to do so. Any other form of government is tyranny.
