Imagine for a moment that you are an athlete and for your entire life, you’ve sacrificed and worked your ass off at one freezing cold sport. Finally, you achieve your dreams and make it to the Olympics, but your event gets scheduled on February 8th…at the same time as the Super Bowl…so nobody watches.

Imagine for a Moment that every year I get up at 11:30-12:00 p.m. for the Superbowl and stay awake until sunrise. After that meetup with friends I drive home and go to sleep while everyone else goes to work. And no one cares. Then I pick up my kids from school. 😜
This is only applicable for American athletes and not this year because the timezones, most of the Olympic village will be already asleep during the Super Bowl.
And then you realise that the world is so much bigger then just the US... and how funny your remark actually is 🥹

Oof, those two did coinside didn't they?!? My ex's gf is representing Puerto Rico but scheduled on the 13th!
It would only be a big deal for Americans probably, but that doesn’t work for the punchline which is, “Makes you not feel as bad for choosing to sit on the couch and smoke weed, huh?” or something of that nature
Honestly I’ll probably be watching Bluey or whatever else the kids are watching at that time… I forgot the Olympics were even on and last I knew you had to have peacock or something to watch them… and I just found out yesterday that the superbowl is this week… go lions!
Same boat. Literally saw that they were both at the same time and thought that was funny 😂 I did see a bit of the opening act thingy of the Olympics which was trippy as hell🤷‍♀️
