    Tough sledding in all those locations... 😉

    Fuck the winter Olympics.

    Everybody can go sled down a hill in Edmonton or something.

    Says the man from the land of Palm Trees. Trust me- ramping up to 1\2 the speed those downhill guys go at will cause blank terror thinking about what's going to happen if you crash.

  • Personally I prefer watching the Winter games...

    Except for all the "X-games" bullshit...

    X Games in general are for guys and gals with a death wish. Like how many 360s can you do before you bust yourself up?

  • Yes, 6 Billion people who can't keep the Olympics from losing money. The Olympics blow. They are a fucking abomination to the intended spirit of the games. The ratings are dwindling, advertising dollars are down, and so is the audience. Nobody gives a rats nasty ass shit for the Olympics. They blow.

    Several of these things are untrue: Ratings/advertising dollars and the audiences are NOT down. But, yes, lots of money is lost by the cities/countries that have to invest Oh so much in the infrastructure for the venues. That is the reason for the proposal for holding the games in limited numbers of cities that already have basically all the infrastructure in place. Only like a kayak or canoeing venue has to be constructed for LA should they get the games.

    As for the spirit of the games? I assume you are referring to the fact that originally the athletes were supposed to be amateurs, and now they are not. Well, you can blame Communism for that. The USSR had all professional athletes playing....it was just supposedly they had other jobs. They were "members of the military" or some such tripe. They were professionals. So it was long ago determined to do away with the archaic "amateur" rules....and let the best athletes perform.
