There must...

So which country/countries are you cheering for and what do you think of it?

I'm cheering for Canada, China, Japan, and Korea but mainly Canada.

US and Canada.

US because well, I'm an American
and Canada because they're hosting the games  

[Muffin of Magic]

I don't really care much where the contestants come from. But I'm really looking forward to Pairs Figure-Skating, the Long program, and Women's Slalom. heart

I don't really care about countries.


But I really hope Vonn will be able to participate in the slalom, she's from the same state as me!  

[Pandoran-Ducky]

I'm cheering mainly for the United States and Canada, but I really hope Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo win gold in pairs figure skating. Their story is really sweet and it would the perfect ending for them.

How have I missed this thread?

I absolutely hate sports usually, but every four years I am absolutely glued to the TV for the Winter Olympics! I was so happy Canada finally got a home winter medal! As for who I'm rooting for...

Overall I'm rooting for the USA because they're my team heart . Especially Jacobellis and White!

Everything else is based on categories, but I support Men's Figure Skating: Chan; Canada, and the German team in Curling.

I'm completely against the Olympics and everything, especially the disgusting and incredibly invasive Olympic propaganda that's been around this time, and I'm rather fiercely unhappy that I'm going to get stuck with this monumental debt and this huge deficit in funds to public resources (I go to a grossly underfunded public school here in BC; I know just how badly we could use that money, instead of it being wasted on some unnecessary luxury. I grad this year, thankfully, before things get any worse. And we are in dire need of doctors, but we can't pay to keep them! How sick and wrong is that? Plus huge homelessness crises in our cities, and in Vancouver the way the homeless community has been treated for the past four years to facilitate the construction of these venues and extravagant wastes... ahh, I should shut up before I offend people. XD) until I'm of old age (Montreal /just/ paid off their 70-something Olympics, and their budget wasn't nearly what ours is!!) and the whole sordid affair just makes me sick to my stomach that people can be so blind and ignorant and... just plain stupid sometimes. Neglecting real, serious issues in favour of some silly games. I know some people hold a lot of stock in them, but what's more important? Some sporting events or human lives? Without government funding, a lot of crucial social projects and services are going to possibly get cut, or at least severely injured by the lack of funding, and yes, that can be the difference between life and death for some. No doctors? No money to buy food for food banks? No money to operate shelters? No aid for the homeless? This s**t is real, I don't know why the government can't see it, too.

...On another note, despite refusing to watch any of the events, I am sort of cheering for Canada. I can't help it, being Canadian there is a lot of pride. XP
