Olympic Games
I caught the opening ceromonies for the Olympics like the other 30+ million other Americans Friday night. It was as an once in a lifetime spectacle, especially for the Chinese who get to try and put their best foot forward and show off for the rest of the world. But I just have to wonder…
I’ve overheard the announcers saying that the next Olympics games will not have baseball nor softball. Who ever though that this was a good idea? Just now, NBC is showing men’s volleyball while the USA Network is showing badminton… Badminton… Are you serious? Badminton is considered more of an Olympic sport than baseball or softball? How can they seriously say that smacking around a shuttlecock for 30 to 45 minutes is more athletic than the skills associated with both baseball and softball? I just don’t get it.
Either way, the next couple of weeks should be interesting as NBC tries their best to make things such as handball and ping pong interesting.
Ramble on…
