Fuck The Olympics

Up 0 Down

If the Olympics were just a sporting event then it wouldn't be a big deal. But the Olympics is not a sporting event. The Olympics is 16 days of personal interest stories and nationalism. If it wasn't the Olympics virtually no one would give a shit who could row the fastest or jump the farthest. Taken out of the Olympics no one cares about these events. And the nationalism is even worse. What really makes a nation great? Is it a strong economy or amount of personal freedoms? No. The true test of a country is how many medals it can win. As an American citizen should I really feel proud that the guy who can swim the fastest was born here? If an Italian won does that mean they are better than Americans by default? And as for the athletes personal lives that is useless information. Is it really that inspiring that a black kid from the Bronx grew up to be an Olympic gymnast? And quit showing they're parents in the stands. Oh look his mom seem worried for him. Wow. A mom that is worried about her sons performance in athletics. My mom was nervous for me when I was up to bat in little league. The Olympics is nothing but flag waving and Lifetime drama.
