Gee, I wonder why I'm cheering for America to lose every event in the Olympics?

The Nigerians played like men possessed with White rage and triumphed over the NBA (Nothin’ But A-holes) players.

Ironically, so am I!

Yeah, me too.

I’ve always enjoyed watching local high school sports, where I actually know the players - or at least their parents. At that level, I believe participating in sports is an extremely important part of development and culture.

At the college and pro levels, it is nothing but commercial entertainment - potentially lucrative for a few wealthy owners and for the small fraction of young men and women who make to those levels - but it has little redeeming cultural value to society.

Add to that the usual negative impacts whenever money and celebrity is involved - corruption, depravity and a sense of entitlement.

I wouldn’t be at all sorry of college, professional and even Olympic sports were to wither and die.

For those talented enough to compete at that level, there are far more important endeavors than breaking meaningless records.

Oh, them.

They aren’t there to represent America, glad they lost.
