The opening ceremony inside eerily empty stadium seats. Let the weirdness begin. The first reviews of the fan-less Olympics are in, and after watching The Parade of Nations on television we can say this event may be somewhat underwhelming.
But as they say, the show must go on. This term is used to say that an event must continue even though there are problems, and boy there sure is, the elephant in the stadium... The global pandemic.

As a young boy and later as an aspiring journalist, I visited baseball stadiums, boxing gyms, athletic clubs, soccer fields, and many other sporting venues where I met and spoke with baseball legends Stan The Man Musial, and Minnie Miñoso, Boxing great Cassius Clay, The Real GOAT, daredevil Evel Knievel, and another great athlete, Soccer Superstar PELE.
Simone Biles is America's sweetheart. She has worked hard to earn this title. Really, and she alone has done it because she can.
Just when #Americans thought Melania Trump was done getting caught ripping off nuggets of wisdom by Michelle Obama, she came out with a grammatically incorrect #USA slogan and similar to the former first lady.
