You can argue about whether or not the Olympics should be in China to begin with, but man... what a horrible year to have them there.

It just isn’t right. Lebron has been a loyal puppet for China and now he gets their Flu.

Omicron is an anagram for moronic. Let’s call it what it really is: OmiCon.

LeBron and the China flu. A lovely match! It would be nice if it affected his greedy, biased brain.

Would we really miss the Hockey portion of the Olympics? The NHL has enough financial woes why add to it with sending players to China?

That brings us to China. Players are starting to think about what happens if the new strain of Covid winds its way through the Olympic Village?


Just make them wear condoms and everything will be fine

Very good! Good eye! I'm going to steal this if you don't mind?

I had been thinking they were looking for a theme. Delta was military and this one was sounding more like something the Klingons from Star Wars would use; but yours is perfect and much much better.

I’ve been hearing that any athlete who tests positive at the Game will have to be quarantined for a couple of weeks in China before he returns home.

That possibility alone is enough to give players pause.


Let's just hope that the doors to their rooms are not nailed shut with Chinese military with machine guns standing outside.

To me the most sickening thing is that the nhl had no compunction about prohibiting participation in the South Korean olympics in 2018, yet is allowing this. I have known for a long time that the other sports leagues lack principals (especially the nba) but it is unfortunate to see the nhl heading down the same path.

The list of reasons not to participate in any olympics, especially ones outside of the North American continent, is long.

Honestly, how to stupid do you have to be to think a pestillence just happened to originate where the CCP has a virology lab?

Just say no to watching, participating in, and covering the CCPovid games.

Be better, Hockeybuzz

NHL players should have threatened a boycott when the two Michaels were kidnapped through hostage diplomacy. Now they should seriously consider how safe they are in a fascist totalitarian regime that kidnaps at will, commits genocide and harvests organs from prisoners. Ask yourself, would you go to the 1936 Olympics? that's basically what this is.
I know Jesse Owens made a statement with his athletic dominance over the Aryan nation. But, in an age where athletes are being so political, why not be political against a truly oppressive nation?

Lol. My patent guy Pat1993 hasn’t contacted me to say he wants to get patent rights so use it. Seriously, I’m sure a lot of other people see it too.

Let's not participate in China Virus Games because of a variant???

how about not participating or watching the China Virus games due to the fact the CCP is mass slaughtering Uyghurs Muslims and Falun Gong practitioners. Geez.

I don’t know much about the QAnon thing. Supposedly, Q is a person and QAnon is a Deep State psyop. I never went down that rabbit hole.

How about joining with the Women's Professional Tennis Association and not hold the games in China...Move them to a combination of cities such as Seattle/Vancouver, Detroit/Toronto or even FLA and Tampa Bay where they can be monitored and protected....
Unless you really wanted to walk in the Opening Ceremonies there is no reason to go over there, the birthplace of the virus, and you can be an Olympic Champion by winning anywhere in the world...
By the way, you might want to pay attention to the bulletin that Homeland Security put out in Dec 2020. China has the DNA of over 80 million Americans , plus others, and can create a variant to target any group of people they want. With a wide open Southern Border that regularly sees people from Mainland China cross as well as Iranians, Iraqi's, Chechens, Somalis, Nigerians, Haitians, Syrians, and many other nationalities, you can see how easy it would be for China to accomplish its goal of further weakening the US
