what's with everyone and their anti-athletics (not just u rd, i've heard a few people on here knocking athletic people)? it's as important as any other avenue of entertainment. forget that it's just running fast, it's watching people at the top of their craft do what they do better than anyone in the world. sorta like watching neil degrasse tyson give speeches on the cosmos. just so happens the majority of them are doing something that requires more physicality than using their thumbs playing in a make-believe world while eating real-world chips all day. they're also not necessarily less educated than anyone else. they're in fact, smart enough to know how to exploit their talent, most of them, to get endorsements and make fuckin money doing what they enjoy.
for me, the games represent a friendly amateur level competition between countries from all sides of the world. i love that. no shame here ... i like to watch or listen to the best do what they do.
