IDK I watch only the Eskimo-Indian Olympics, it's far more interesting than the regular.
Fencing? Phew, how about seal skinning?

It's an evolutionary model that I think requires complex numbers.
Hillbillies don't watch the Olympics.
- No monster trucks
- No bud light
- No tailgaters
- Loud cars missing
- Very few tough-guy sports.
Like, sure, we need to move the fencing to a chariot race, and make jousting and full contact gladiatorial combat a thing. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
Then we'll get the hicks watching. Just dont call it SCA as that's a nerd thing.
My old buddy Mike had a rebel flag painted on the front of his house, American and rebel flag flying side by side, a can of Busch Light in his hand at all times, house littered with little hand carved wood spirits, and anything hillbilly that you could imagine.
He watched the Olympics religiously. He wouldn’t miss it for anything.
He wasn’t racist though, he just wasn’t that bright. I mean, he was and he wasn’t. He honestly just liked the imagery I think and he was old. He had civil war stuff laying around too, both sides. Little figurines and things.

In the same way that Woke, DEI, CRT, PC, and so on are just a drop in replacement for the n-word (and sometimes gay slurs), this is just a very stupid fearful person saying they didn't like seeing black people on TV. There is no further analysis going on.
They have no interest or even awareness of the skill on display. you could replace it with anything else and as long as they could complain about it with their coworkers they would barely even notice.
What a privileged abilist take. Calling a bunch of perfectly healthy people with amazing bodies diverse. /s
In Australia our Para-olympic athletes get almost as much press and support. Its actually really great to see.
