Olympics Gripe

Gripe first....What is it with these athletes (mostly foreign) that when after winning a "Gold" medal, they make statements like......"I knew I would prove that I was the best in the world!!"....

What happened to representing your country in a humble manner??? I can't say I've witnessed any American Olympians react in this selfish way.....but have seen many others do it. Very upsetting...I enjoy watching the Olympics, but look at it as a Team event, EVEN IN INDIVIDUAL COMPETITIONS....just how I look at it anyway...

Then to add to my feeling this way, I caught the special-footage on our "Dream Team". Actually had goose bumps watching high-lights from many of the games. WHAT A TEAM THAT WAS, THERE WILL NEVER BE A TEAM LIKE THAT AGAIN... Loved to hear how the LOVED representing THEIR COUNTRY.

Also didn't hear Michael Phelps talk about how he is the BEST in the world, or how he has the most medals ever??? Other countries need to continue to LEARN from us, instead of hate us.


Grumpage over for now....

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
