The Olympics Needs to Get Its Shit Together
The actual sports are just background noise that give Bob Costas something to blather on about, and for every other glorified blogger to cherry pick stories from that fit their little agendas.I think the most viral Olympics video so far this year is from 24 years ago, and it’s a highlight of a sprinter coming in last place due to an injury—but it’s a moment we can all learn something from, I guess. This regressive trajectory will soon celebrate the last place finishers, praising them for their courage in the face of oppression against the weak—and frowning upon the gold medalists, since they’re the best anyways so they don’t need anymore accolades. - - STREET CARNAGE

Your Say
I am, and have been my whole life, a rapid Olympic watcher but this year I decided to not watch the network and the “popular” sports for the games of which I’ve grown tired of. Instead I watch the alternative cable channels and the less glamorous sports such as soccer, boxing, archery, water polo, fencing, field hockey, table tennis and yes, badminton. I’ve surprisingly been just as entertained and have enjoyed every minute of it.
And I must say I don’t miss the gymnastics, swimming, beach volleyball or the constant, mind numbing behind the scenes, up close and personal stories. Nor the ever annoying Bob Costas and the rest of the bloviating gas bags.
Go USA!!!
