Team USA off to its worst Summer Olympic start in nearly 50 years
>Team USA is off to its worst Summer Olympic start in nearly 50 years, having not won a single medal on the first day of competition for the first time since 1972.
>Saturday marked a disappointing day for the American’s competing in archery, cycling, fencing, judo, air rifle and pistol shooting, taekwondo, and weightlifting, with not a single athlete taking the podium to receive a medal.
The last time Team USA walked away without any hardware on the first day of the Summer Olympics was at the 1972 Munich Games, USA Today reported. They previously failed to medal on day one of the 2018 Winter Olympics as well.
>I’m a little shocked, to be honest," world-ranked No.1 Brady Ellison said after he and partner Mackenzie Brow were eliminated in the first round of the archery mixed event.
China earned the Game's first gold medal after Qian Yang defeated Russian Olympic Committee’s (ROC) Anastasiia Galashina in the 10-meter air rifle final. American Mary Carolynn Tucker finished in sixth place despite being the favorite heading into the event.
>Team USA will have plenty of time left to pick up medals. 613 athletes are competing in 36 events. Of those athletes, 104 have won Olympic medals.
>As far as history goes – after not winning a medal on the opening day of the 1972 Games, Team USA would go on to win 33 gold medals and 94 altogether, Yahoo Sports reported.
Now that we are allowed to talk about the Olympics on /gg/ I like to remind everyone that the same team USA that allows entitled athletes to trash America and kneel for BLM is the worst performing Olympic team in 50 years. As well as producing the worst ratings in 50 years. Team USA ratings are worst than the ratings they had before America had a population of 345 million.
USWNT Tokyo Olympics player ratings: USA struggle all over the field in stunning blowout loss to Sweden
>The United States women's national team fell 3-0 to Sweden in their opening group match. It was a dominant performance from Sweden who outplayed the USWNT in all areas of the pitch, Stina Blackstenius and Lina Hurtig recorded goals for Sweden.
>The loss is the first for the USWNT after going on a 44-game unbeaten streak. Let's take a look at some player and coach ratings from the match. All ratings are based on a 1-10 scale with 1 representing an early red card send-off and 10 being a hat-trick level game.

Kevin Smith Has a Message for Angry He-Man Fans: Grow the F-- Up!
>Kevin Smith, the mind behind the new He-Man series on Netflix, has some harsh words for the angriest of the critics of the new show.
>Kevin Smith has lost his patience with a certain group of He-Man fans who are angry over the big twist in Masters of the Universe: Revelation - Part 1.
>The writer/director developed the new He-Man series for Netflix based on the idea of continuing the story of the original series. However, adult audiences who remember the original series from their childhood have issued harsh criticism and even taken to "review-bombing" to bring Part 1's Rotten Tomatoes audience score down.
>Smith explained to Variety that he was convinced to even do the series by being told by Netflix’s director of original series Ted Biaselli, "'I yearn to watch the show I thought I was watching in childhood.
>That’s what I’m looking for here, the same show, but people can die. Can you do that?' And I was like, ‘That’s the only thing I can do.'"
However, the big twist in the new series is that He-Man and Skeletor are seemingly killed in battle with each other in the very first episode, tearing magic away from Eternia and leaving the other heroes alone, with Teela being forced to take a more central role in He-Man's temporary absence. This has led to several fans angrily calling this new series a "bait and switch," since He-Man is mostly only in flashbacks during the series.
>Smith does not take those complaints very seriously. "It’s been interesting, seeing who truly is a hardcore fan," he said. "Because anybody that’s like, ‘Oh, man, there’s not enough He-Man’ or something like that, doesn’t understand the show that we based it on. There were episodes where he lost the sword and he never became He-Man. It wasn’t like He-Man always saved the day. His friends helped him. That was the fucking point of the show."
>I see people online go, ‘Hey man, they’re getting rid of He-Man!' Like, you fucking think Mattel Television, who hired me and paid me money, wants to do a fucking ‘Masters of the Universe’ show without He-Man?" he continued more harshly. "Grow the fuck up, man. Like, that blew my mind, a bunch of people being like, ‘Oh, I smell it. This is a bait and switch.'"
