The Romans were wise enough to ban the classical Greek games before they had sunk to the level of these modern ones.

It happens here too.
Dianne de Leeuw took the silver medal the year Dorthy Hamill took gold. De Leeu was born in California but skated for the Netherlands.

What damn difference does it make anymore? We have most American citizens now now define themselves as something other than American first.
Hispanic-American
African-America
Asian-American
How many people do you know that simply call themselves American? I do.

$400K budget (obviously OPM) for only 5 athletes, in a country where few make more then $1000 per year.
Methinks a few “Olympic committee” bureaucrats are living very high on the hog there.

Whatever happened to ALLLLLLLL that money that was sunk into Haiti after that natural disaster thing that got everyones bowels in an uproar???
And we STILL hear of people living in squalor and unsanitary conditions today???
Seems to me that money could have bought a lot of roofs over peoples heads, and other necessities, and gotten those folks up and on their feet...
Don’t tell the money given so far was not enough...I don’t want to hear that line of BS at all...
Just curious...
