Here are some others...

The term Olympics is copyrighted.. whats up with that... the Olympics have been around for centuries before copyrights were invented.

Everything about them ( and many other things ) are so commercialized that the spirit of the Olympics seemes drowned out.

Everybody is still panicing over terrorists attacks.

I myself dont feel any anticipation over the games anymore. If I wanna know who won what, I just type in 1 of many web addresses and I have it.

I could write more, but i think ive done enough bitching. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Corruption and cheating was the whole reason the ancient Olympics stopped. Looks like history will repeat. The spirit of the games is gone. Where is amateurism? They're all pro atheletes now. Though the games don't pay for winning, endorsements do.
