    Default The Olympics- Do you give a shit?

    I just don't care! It seems that everyone around me does! I actually enjoy sport, just not the Os. It's like the hype for a really shitty blockbuster movie which sucks everyone in and doesn't fail to disapoint.

    Not really.

    I like certain events but, their boring really to watch, especially when the competitors are this good.

    If I turn on the tv and happen upon it, I'll be like "oh yeah, the Olympics" and sit and watch it, but I don't go out of my way for it. I don't follow or care about sports anyway,

    I could not care less. The Olympics are a shadow of what they used to be when i was a kid. Back then, it was the US vs USSR, democracies vs communists, East vs West, and most importantly, only amateurs played for the US. Now they play these extreme sports games and allow professionals to compete. I find that so distasteful that I actually will probably root against Team USA in basketball. I don't want to watch an NBA All-Star Team compete against a bunch of minor-leaguers. The reason the 1980 Olympic gold in hockey was the greatest sports moment in my lifetime was because it involved a bunch of college kids beating the best team in the world, the Soviet national team.

    Yep love the Olympics. Especially summer for Aussies although I have a feeling our swimmers are going to disappoint this year. Hopefully Stephanie Rice can make up for the fatty Liesel Jones (She's gonna be the laughing stock of the world. At least 20kg over race weight..what a disgrace!)

    Nope, it's no longer about sportsmanship. Coming first is all that matters.
    Lots of spoilt rich kids getting to travel the world and play sports on taxpayers money. The Aussie competitors are whinging and whining about petty stuff like will a male or female get to carry the flag at the opening ceremony. The Aussie media is already giving our Competitors a ton of crap because they won't win a record bag of gold medals, and a swimmer that has qualified to the strict IOC standards doesn't look trim enough in their opinion to be competing.
    No doubt when it's shown on Tv the Aussie channels will treat it like a swim meet with a few other sports on the side because the media only cares about GOLD. GOLD. GOLD. Swimming has a billion chances for medals(50m, 100m, 200m etc- freestyle, breaststroke, backstoke etc for each distance, plus also getting a go at the relays, team and individual for each of those strokes and a combination of those over each of those distances etc) compared to the other sports which allow only one opportunity for medals in most cases. So the TV and news will be swimming swimming, swimming, oh and some other Aussie got a gold medal in something *footage of them on podium receiving medal*

    The 1980 US hockey team is really the reason I love the Olympics. Those were the first Olympic memories of my life and that team, along with the fact that it took place only 2 hours from where I lived, got me hooked on some sports I had never even heard of before then. Then of course that was the same year the US boycotted the summer Olympics, so my first memories of that are the 84 LA games, and those were so much fun because we dominated without the Soviet Block countries there.

    As much as they have changed, and the fact that pro athletes do participate, at its base its still about the sport and competition, and I still get excited about that.
