The true spirit is well-muscled Greek men coated with olive oil and
wrestling each other, or some beraggled guy in sandals running 26 miles to
watch the olive oil men wrestle.

What we have today is so gay!


Sounds like it was more gay back then.

The US wins in contrived events.

Snowboarding?

They will not win in manly winter sports such as downhill skiing, the
biathalon, cross country skiing, ice hockey or ski jumping.

Venue ticket sales:

Snowboarding: sold out and SRO--most popular event at the Games.
Downhill: SRO, and lots of room along the course that the organizers had
hoped would be filled. And it's one of the best downhill courses in the
world.
Biathalon: "Whazzat" (average Olympics spectator query)
X-C racing: Most of the course looks like a wilderness, devoid of people or
other signs of life
Hockey: Men's: less than 50% ticket sales, women's: about 85% ticket
sales. finals sold out for women's, but still about 60% for men's
Ski jumping: sold out. Okay, everyone finds that fascinating, if maniacal.

Snowboarding is a Michigan sport. Boarding in half-pipes is dangerous.
We taught out kids to ski, but refrained from the whole board business,
not wanting to deal with the broken bones issues in the learning process.

Oh, thanks, Katy. I just took it up last year.

They win in hippie events like snowboarding or pagentry events like
figure skating.

Thank God alpine climbing is not a winter event, the US would lose at
that too.

Too many fat kids with imbecile parents. Inneffective public schools.
Video games. It's all going to hell in a handbasket.

Amen!

Curling is the Michigan sport! (Actually, ski jumping on the UP).

Half pipes are contrived, man made.

None of this is in the true spirit of the Olympics! The true spirit is
well-muscled Greek men coated with olive oil and wrestling each other, or
some beraggled guy in sandals running 26 miles to watch the olive oil men
wrestle.

What we have today is so gay!

Women in the Olympics should wear long skirts for modesty. Now the run
around half naked or in some skin type rubber suit!

Why are women in the Olympics anyway?

The should be holding the urns of olive oil!

It should be just olive oil coated men wrestling!

Amen!


Curling is a Canadian sport.

Yeah, you do both, eh, Joe? When was the last time you were on a slope?

When they set up the luge run at Hoffmaster I was really tempted...

Yes I do both and prefer a snowboard. Last time on the slope 2003.
Being a lifetime surfer I find ski's boring, unless its slomon water
sking.

Joe

We should give Michigan back to Canada!

Amen!
