Summary

The Tokyo Olympics are only a few days old and things couldn't be much worse. The Opening Ceremony on NBC drew only 16.7 million U.S. viewers, a 33- year low. As of yesterday 14 athletes had tested positive for Covid and over 100 others affiliated with the games had tested positive as well. Team USA Men's Basketball team was upset by France and people are blaming the coach, Greg Popovich , who I guess doesn't know how to coach anymore. The big question is will the Olympic Games continue to spiral downward on all fronts? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
