No controversy with judges, are you kidding? Half the sports in the Olympics are either bogus/made-up events or corrupt due to their scoring systems. Just because there is no "cold war" does not mean there isn’t disdain for certain countries and said countries won't receive unfair treatment. The Olympics are a sham these days. NBC has turned it in to an event for People Magazine readers. All of the sudden, for 2 out of every 104 weeks, people can pretend to be sports fans because they read about some dude in OK Magazine and how he bought a Baywatch swimsuit on ebay so he could train in the arctic circle where he lived growing up because his father was exiled by the previous regime in the small nation of Zmunda. Now, he's just fighting to make it to the medal round of the 200 meter free-style.

Don't get me wrong, I want us to win everything we can as a country, but I really couldn't care less about striking up a conversation with someone this week about Olympic events when they probably couldn't even tell me who Brett Favre is. I have no interest in speaking with people who are part time (more like rare time) sports fans because eventually, I have to explain something logically to them about the sports workd and in the end somehow, some way, they have to cry about "it" (meaning some obscure rule) not being fair. All this from the person wanting to watch sporting events which are judged by those, who care more about feelings and politics than fairness.
