The Olympics are filled with a bunch of spoiled egotistical brats.

They spend all their time training for something useless; mooch off their families -— for some personal glory, at best.

And I say that as a sometimes serious athelete.

Not all of them.....I have met several of the US Olympic swimmers and none of them were spoiled brats - just the opposite in fact...modest and unassuming. One of them was on TV last night - Peter Vanderkaay. His brothers, competitors themselves, were so proud of Peter.

I think you paint with too wide a brush.

What a bunch of bitter - jealous couch potatoes. Here we’re looking to find out if Spitz was on a Wheaties Box while wondering when Phelps will get his turn and we come across this nonsense...get off your lousy butt (and I’ll bet fat) and go for a few hour swim and then you can ‘post’ on our exceptional athletes and their humility.
