Yeah, I remember that one. Just keep playing the last few seconds over until the team you want wins, then the game’s finished. Sort of like how the Democrats want to count votes in a close election.

The US team members still haven’t picked up their Silver medals after all these years.

I know the rationalization. Professional is still not amateur. Jim Thorpe must be spinning in his grave.
To: dfwgator
I didn’t know that. Good for them.
To: HartleyMBaldwin
Your right. The college players would love chance to go again.

I think the athletes were hungrier back then - now all the big names have lucrative endorsements even before their first Olympic Games and very high opinions of themselves regardless of whether they get on the podium. Meh.

If they were to just make a list of events and announce that all 7 billion people on the planet all get participation cyber trophies then we can be done with the Olympics and put that flame out as the new Dark Ages comes upon us as the end of the second era of Olympics comes to an end.
My point is that political correctness is bad for the Olympics and everything.

Guess I'm in the minority here.
Our family has really enjoyed watching the Olympics. Shawn White's gold metal win was very exciting.
All the figure skating got tiresome after a while though.

Figure skatings popularity is at an all-time low in the US. It used to boost the ratings a lot. Fag Figure skating just doesn't lure me away from Scooby-Doo cartoons...
