While a cheer for all of our American athletes, Ibthihaj Mohammed has been given a lot of coverage just for being a Moslem. Yes, she has a shot at a medal but we have a 2 time gold medalist in Mariel Zagunis who is in the same event who has received NO coverage at all. Zagunis is actually a favorite to medal if not win the gold.
You’re mentioning one of the reasons I don’t bother turning on the Olympics any longer. The up close and personals are disgusting.
For one thing, you can tell it’s geared to women. You have to listen to five minutes of personal tear jerker stories before they compete.
Oh yes, they’ve over come... this that or the other thing. Frankly, I don’t care.
They all work hard. I don’t need to sob my eyes out on the way to the actual event.
It’s the same thing on many prime-time television shows these days. You have to watch several minutes of sob stories, then the performance.
This drivel causes me to quit watching shows. That’s probably a goal of theirs too.
After all, I’m the wrong race, wrong sex, wrong age group, believe in the wrong God according to them, and don’t buy into their mindless drivel.
