ive been thinking about how the world has changed and ive only come up with negative things and so i eventually ended up thinking about one of the worlds longest traditions as a whole,the olympics. the olympics were started by the romans as a sporting event to show who was the most strongest and most dedicated athlete of their time.at first the olympics were just an event to entertain and now they are to show ones honor,hardwork and dedication payoff for a peice of gold.now more people watch the super bowl instead of the olympics.
this years amercian olympic commercial states that the olympic team for the last olympics inspired america by winning alot of gold and that this year we are more than prepared...it seems to me that the olympics have a hit a low point as an event its no longer based on unity hardwork or dedication but about winning the gold and being a big star and making your country look good..i remember earlier this month one of our gold medal sikers made comments about partying and skiing while drunk and how he is hungover so it kan mess up his concentration...if todays olympic games are so prestigous than why do we need to make up mascots to get peoples attention basically my point of this post was to as all of you if you think the olympics have lost their morales of work hard and youll be the best

i foregot to say that do all the new sports still have the same meaning to everyone i mean does jamaica have a snowboarding team? also it seems to me that mor eplayers use steroids or "herbal enhacers" than dont

Perhaps It is a mix of both comerciality and real sportsmanship all mixed up together.. personally I like to think of the more romantisised Jamacan bobslegh team.. you know the under dog making it big.. not necessarily becuase they win anything but becuase they shouw real courage and sportmanship. But I am a sucker for the winter Olympics.. and will hog the tv set for hours on end watching peole do huge jumps and hit massive speeds on the bobsliegh and well.. ice skating.. its all great fun.. specially for a clumsy galoot like me

What do you mean by herbal enhancers?....... I mean isnt parsely good for the blood? and thyme good for your throat? surely anything eaten can be asumed to be an enhancer?
