and at the same time worrying about how Chinese athletes "don’t get many humanizing breaks."

I assume he's a leftist. If so, he ought to be careful what he wishes for. People might be exposed to some human-rights issues that were completely unprepared for.

I say that we should by all means showcase the life of a Chinese child of about 5 when they are identified as a potential Olympic athlete.

We can discuss how their parents weren't allowed to visit or even see many of them perform at the Beijing Olypmics.

We can talk about how female athletes are beaten when they make a mistake.

Yup...Costas' coverage of Chinese athletes at the Olympics would be a great eye-opener.
