Winter Olympics

Discussion for professional sporting events/teams and players.

This would be a great place to discuss the Super Bowl, the NBA Playoffs or whatever else.

I actually came to really enjoy curling when I had the opportunity to learn how to play the sport on my mission. It's pretty enjoyable.

The US sweaters in the opening ceremonies were kind of ugly.

My six-year-old, through three days of competition, has basically two cheers when he's watching:
- Go USA!
and
- Boo Russia!

I have no idea where he got this. I've tried to explain that these are Russians and not Soviets and it's 2014 and not 1984. But he's adamant that he doesn't like the Russians. They're the only country he is rooting against.
