    I will watch the olympics this year with my 8 year uld nephew. I have him 5 and 6 days a week while his daddy works, and he is very interested in getting to watch the olympics.

    I can't wait for the Olynpics to start next week. I always look forward to finding out more about the athletes and their background stories. Its really inspiring to see these persons at the apex of their careers and to participate in a worldwide event.

    sure I'll watch them but I have 2 kids under the age of 2 so I don't know how much of it I will be seeing. If one of our regular shows is on then I will prob. watch more of that instead.

    I am boycotting these Olympic games because they are being held in China. China should not be rewarded with the games while they continue to deny people of their basic human rights.

    I'm not a big fan of the Olympics, but I do like watching it sometimes...

    I may watch some of the events. I have mixed emotions about them being in China with that country's pollution problems, work ethics, and some of the political activities.

    There are always such amazing stories that come out of this level and type of competition - I love the idea of sharing the excitement, pride, and commitment to effort with my son. We'll catch as much of the Olympics as we reasonably can.
