Olympic Recap

So the Olympics have been over for a week and I have had time to reflect about the games and what they mean to me…

-I still think that if you are over 12 and ride a BMX bike you might be a loser. If the most marketed thing about your sport in Olympic coverage is crashes – that’s a bad thing.

-Synchronized diving, and rhythmic gymnastics are for people that weren’t quite good enough to compete in the real events. Also see Ice Dancing in the winter Olympics.

-The Chinese cheated. Well duh! I think that the important thing to remember is that our athletes got beat by 12 year olds. That should put things in perspective.

-Sports with subjective scoring systems suck.

-Have Jamaicans always been that fast? Hmmm…

-The rules about what country you can compete for seem a little loosy goosy. So if you aren’t good enough at a sport in your own country you can switch to another to compete at the Olympics. Maybe next Olympics I can be a cyclist from Djibouti.

-They say the Olympics are about the essence of sport. I call BS. If you are sponsored by VISA the only thing you are the essence of is capitalism. If you want to see the essence of sport go to grade school at recess and watch the kids play ball. Don’t stay long, someone will think you are a pedophile.

-Thank you Kristen Armstrong for making it a little more acceptable to be a spandex wearing biker fag in Boise, Idaho. Now that is a legacy.

-The only thing that would make women’s beach volleyball better is Bacardi Mojito commercials.

-Michael Phelps needs some braces, but he’s so fast you probably didn’t notice.

Wow, I love the Olympics.
