The COVIDLympics, Day Seven, Part Two: And the mouths are beginning to flap...

And if you understand why, you know it's not a good sign if you are a fan of Team USA.

Two major points of contention today, both USA swimmers.

Lilly King has formally condemned people (such as myself) who are calling out Team USA for falling short (and dare I say, WELL SHORT) of medal and especially gold medal expectations in these Games so far.

Lilly:

• Team Women's Gymnastics
• Rowing Women's Eights, where the USA has dominated until now (and that doesn't even take into account the ABSOLUTE ZERO the USA got in Rowing in these Games, with the regatta now completed)
• Softball
• Male BMX Racing (though that was the result of a horrific crash to take out the World Champion)

That's four right there.  And that doesn't account for the fact you're probably AT LEAST FIVE gold short in the pool, with only six with two days to go.

And what does this mean in the overall?

Golds:  China 19, Japan 18, USA 14, Illegal Russian Team 10

Total:  USA 41, China 40, Illegal Russian Team 34

It is becoming increasingly unlikely that, at best, the USA won't have to split the title, winning the total but losing the gold.

And that's if China doesn't win the total as well.

And then there's the other USA swimmer who's shooting his mouth off.

Ryan Murphy basically said he believes at least the Russians are doping, and no one cares.

Russia's response:  "You need to be able to lose."

This is getting salty and fast.

A British rower, after taking silver to the Russians, blasted the IOC, saying the Russians didn't even deserve to be here.

(Forgetting, of course, this is the THIRD Olympics of their ban.)

An inquest has already been called by Great Britain into a disappointing performance by THEIR rowing team in the regatta.

I would have to think similar is eventually going to have to be called against the entire Olympic movement in the United States.

There are at least four major issues at play:

1) The American White Right leaving sports entirely.  Ratings and viewership of even the Olympics are half, if not less, than Rio.  To give an idea:  All Elite Wrestling, on a night they should've taken a bath in the numbers, drew nearly 1.2 million viewers for their "Fight For the Fallen" special -- this year, benefitting sexual assault victims.  This on primetime Night Five of the Games.

It has to be made clear that, because of BLM and other political considerations central to sports are finally getting Conservative America to turn off sports entirely and forever, without recourse until sports are basically no longer "Too Black"/"Too Woke".

2) I said it and will continue to take heat for it.  I think a lot of Americans, even on Team USA, are not as committed to performing for their country -- and many should not be.  How you can be Black or LGBT and actually have your full heart into performing for Team USA in these Games, given the Divided States of America, is beyond any semblance of my comprehension.

3) The massive continued coverup of the United Sexual-Assault Olympic Committee and it's rampant use of sexual assault and rape as probable filters for who gets the opportunity to represent Team USA.

4) And the massive financial and corporate pressure on "certain" Team USA athletes.

Keep an eye on these numbers -- and on the behavior of Team USA as the Games continue.
