The Olympics are here! Rah, rah, wave the flag! Yeah like I’m supposed to care whether some young, or in some cases not so young, brat wins a medal for my country. USA ! USA! USA! I don’t and I get tired of all the jingoistic banter you have to listen to when the ‘Games’ come around. Some of these athletes are fine and anonymous. They train hard. I wish them well. I get these other countries wanting to beat the big, bad, Americans. But these spoiled professional amateurs who have done nothing in their lives but sponge off the government (and probably taxpayers) for years or even decades and ‘overcome adversity’, and wait, I’m supposed to care whether these skiers and others like them win? Not at my house! They’re not heroes, at least to me. I wish the Olympics were once every twenty-five years so I wouldn’t have to hear about them so much
