Should talk about the Olympics…

Well…it has been a day and I have grown weary of attacking ole Mitt, so I thought I talk about other stuff for a change…and, since I’ve been watching the Olympics almost non-stop since they started, it seems they would be a good topic. One of the things that has surprised me is the gaming of the games that have been going on, starting with the badminton scandal, I thought you were supposed to always try your best, not try to use the rules to avoid having to. But, that just what we got with some of the Chinese badminton players who clumsily tried to lose so they would get an easier opponent in the next round…I’m not sure they should be banned since the rules were there to be used but doesn’t anyone adhere to the spirit of the contest anymore? Then, there has been the atrocious refereeing and judging of boxing, leaving fighters who clearly won their fights the losers with it getting so bad that at least two of the results were overturned on appeal, something that is virtually unheard of. But, I still love the two weeks when the games are on..it gives me a chance to forget being broke and unemployed and root for the good old USA.
