I enjoy the gymnastics, too, I also like many of the track and field events, ditto for the diving competitions, the equestrian events, tennis, sailing and this year I might even enjoy watching our basketball team. IMHO, the Olympics should not be about politics. Nitwit Carter subscribed to that theory and ruined a once in a lifetime opportunity for many young Americans. So, for these two weeks, I’m not concerned with how China has or has not comported themselves up to now, although that is a valid point. However, I sure do care a lot about all our athletes. Many of whom, along with their parents, have sacrificed, worked and dreamed of this moment for most of their lives. I think they deserve our support.
You’ve made a great point, Darlin’. This is a lifelong dream of our athletes and they deserve all the support they can get.
Maybe I’ll peek in on the gymnastics after all. I hope the Americans kick butt in all the competitions!
China stinks! Woohoo! :)
