We're not watching any of the coverage this time around because of the Russian anti-gay laws and the appalling treatment of gay people in Russia. </p> <p>Fundamental Principle Six of the Olympic Charter explicitly prohibits "Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise."An Olympic host country should reflect this principle of non-discrimination. In my opinion, the IOC failed to honor its own charter and principles when it selected Russia to host. </p> <p>We talked and talked about it and it was ultimately DH who couldn't reconcile watching the coverage with our beliefs. It's a shame, really, because he loves winter sports..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-watch-the-opening-ceremonies-tonight#post-1408950 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 10:10:58 +0000 chopsuey 1408950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't watch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-watch-the-opening-ceremonies-tonight#post-1408764 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 06:32:42 +0000 yin 1408764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any chance I can find the opening ceremony available online? I don't have cable and use my FIL's login info to watch highlights and videos. I don't think NBC is making the opening ceremony available online though. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-watch-the-opening-ceremonies-tonight#post-1408676 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 23:58:12 +0000 lemondrop 1408676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the second half- my bff has a grand opening tonight, so I can't miss that, but then it's pajama and Olympic time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-watch-the-opening-ceremonies-tonight#post-1408675 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 23:55:55 +0000 BabyMats 1408675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It hasn't even started yet over here..but yes!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-watch-the-opening-ceremonies-tonight#post-1408674 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 23:53:49 +0000 Running Elley 1408674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watching it now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-watch-the-opening-ceremonies-tonight#post-1408632 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 23:09:23 +0000 plantains 1408632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-watch-the-opening-ceremonies-tonight#post-1408389 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 20:44:09 +0000 mrsbookworm 1408389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: They really are!

Yawn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-watch-the-opening-ceremonies-tonight#post-1408074 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:04:10 +0000 Ree723 1408074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched it live this morning as I couldn't find it being rebroadcast later on any of the channels here. Normally I love the OC but I wasn't super impressed this time. Now to be fair, it was on at 1:20 am and my night owl newborn hadn't let me get more than a 20 minute stretch of sleep before it started, so I wasn't really in my most attentive frame of mind. I'll be curious to see what everyone else thinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-watch-the-opening-ceremonies-tonight#post-1408061 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 16:57:29 +0000 theotherstark 1408061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I am super stoked about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-watch-the-opening-ceremonies-tonight#post-1408047 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 16:53:35 +0000 BabyBruins 1408047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! I'm making beef stroganoff and baking brownies to celebrate! I used to go to the Olympics for my old job and I was in Vancouver 4 years ago.
