It certainly seems like that. Of course I can’t confirm that, but it’s an odd ordeal all together. I totally agree that Raiders fans should feel let down, but hopeful since they’ll actually have a player that wants to be on the team now. This season off to a very odd start. I feel like there’s been a bit more drama than usual (especially since I’m aware of anything going on in the NFL).

That’s exactly what Sevens is. It has the same basic skills require to succeed in 15s, but it takes a different type of player to become successful. It also caters to a crowd which might be as enticed to watch 15s. BKB3x3 is in the Olympics by the way.

No, the best Rugby Sevens players so up. 7s and 15s are too different things. I quite like the 7s format more than the 15s and that’s my opinion. However, I think 7s players are just as deserving of an Olympic spot as 15s. I don’t think Rugby’s been tampered with at all.

She’s the best thing to happen to women’s tennis the last few years. Great player, better person.

Yes, I’m aware of that. However, many of the world’s best players will still show up. I only know the names of players with Olympic medals or multiple grand slam titles. I’d put Football as first by the way. Then Baseball, then Tennis, then Golf, then Basketball. Those are the main offenders. However, I believe only Baseball and Football should be kicked from the Olympics.

True. Plus, she’s already a household name here. Maybe I just want her to win a second gold . After Osaka, she’s my favorite player.

Yep Andreescu is definitely from

True, but winning a gold is such a unique experience. For most Americans here winning gold twice would be on par with her winning 24 grand slams. Gold Medalists are just held in great regard in the US

Medvedev is the villain we all need though (His words, not mine)

Right of course, but another Olympic gold would solidify Serena as one of the greats. It would also make her advertising deals just a bit better, even if she makes the record. Of topic question here: Is the Olympics considered a Grand Slam by people, or is it in a special catagory to tennis fans?

Serena wants gold in Tokyo from what I understand. She’s putting in a lot of work to make it happen. Wouldn’t be surprised if she retires if she wins or gets a medal.

True. I launched into a bit of a general rant. Still anyone facing Serena in the US will never have the crowds support.

The home hero loses. Hopefully there’s a bit less drama this year...

It’s not just the US Open. America crowds will always be very one sides towards our own. Also, no Eastern athletes or countries will ever get cheers from us because people in this country blindly accept the East as enemy. I’d also say that depending where you are, crowds can tend to cheer for every white athlete or a black athlete or vice versa. This is Country is in such deep shit currently that politics and social conversations dominate everything we do. It’s really embarrassing, and that’s coming from someone who loves politics in sports like myself. Serena will always be seen as the hero by US crowds. Her story resonates with most Americans.

Damn, you met royalty in your reporting and I had donuts delivered to my house while writing an article this week

I was thinking that as well, but the Dutch are generally a good bet for international tournaments. Either way the Europe/Africa qualifier should be fun.

@bmo I don’t watch a lot of American Football, but Army v. Michigan was a great games. Army have really turned themselves around in the last decade. When I was in grade school, the were lucky to win 5-7 games a season.

Reminds me of the Tokyo 64 road race. Probably the best (or closest) Olympic road races in history. You can find the finish on YouTube if you haven’t seen it.

Yeah it worked all yesterday for me
