Does Anybody Care Anymore About The Olympics?
i'm reading about how they can't give away tickets to the Summer Olympics in Greece next month - alot of people are staying away because of the threat of terrorism but thinking about it - the Olympics ain't what they used to be, might be time to put the biggest most corrupt world event to sleep. When the Cold War ended so did most of the drama of the Olympics. There are no more bad guys to root against. If we could somehow get the ragheads to concentrate on something besides blowing up the world and camel fucking maybe they'd be good sporting adversaries.
When I was a kid the Olympics were huge, every Olympics there would be athletes who became household names - Olga Korbut, Nadia Comaneci, Mark Spitz, Bruce Jenner, Mary Lou Retton, Sugar Ray Leonard, that East German female swimmer with the 7 gold medals and the testicles - last few Olympics I barely remember anybody.
This would be a good time to get rid of them. Agreed?
