I'm freakin' sick of this Olympic crap and the largely spoiled brat athletes.
The US hockey team members are all sniping at each other because, well, they sucked. "If I had played more we would have done better, wah, wah, wah." Go screw yourself, crybaby whiners.
Our best speed skaters (mens) can't seem to shake hands and be happy for one another.
Our supposed hope in the alpine events, being Bode Miller, doesn't even seem to care that he hasn't performed anywhere near his potential. I honestly don't care that he didn't win. I just think if you're going to go to the Olympics you should damn well give it your best, and I'm not convinced he did.
Michelle Kwan whined her way into the Olympics and then quit.
I don't know....maybe I'm making too much of this, but there are more examples.
Anyone ever watch the X-games? What I love about the X-games is that the athletes genuinely love to watch each other and have tremendous respect for one another. There's none of the bickering and whining and jealousy.....those guys (and girls) participate in their sports because they love their sports.
I know many of the Olympic athletes do, and that the arguing and fighting makes a better news story than does the happy people all getting along. Sigh.
