The vote was markedly unenthusiastic.
Anyone who was up before the sun here Friday to watch the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics — or who viewed it rebroadcast in prime time — took in something entertaining and, frankly, troubling. Host city Tokyo is under a state of emergency. Kicking off a Games without fans in attendance, the opening ceremony unfolded before a largely empty Olympic Stadium and with many fewer athletes than usual taking part in the Parade of Nations. The Games — and the pandemic — go on. In this week’s “Polling Place” — your home for Sun-Times sports polls on Twitter — we asked respondents how into these Games they are. “The city is on quarantine watch!” @JBIRD1268 commented. “The Olympics started?” @shupe_dog asked, facetiously, we suppose. We also asked about favorite sports in the Summer Games.
