Man, I can’t believe all this press about Bode Miller and him not getting a single medal out of 4 events so far. I mean, should we really care? It’s the Olympics, which frankly, I’ve watched around a total of 15 minutes of this event – and 10 of that were of Curling, of all events. Whether he wins a gold medal or not isn’t going to improve our lives any. Let the guy ski and if he doesn’t get a medal, congratulate him for making the Olympics. I can’t believe that the Olympics has come down to “win the gold or you are a failure.”
Personally, I think the Olympics are pretty silly in comparison to the war that we are currently involved in and soldiers are dying in. If I was in the military serving in the Middle East I’d be pretty offended that the primary front page news is the Olympics and that we have our panties in a bunch because Bode Miller is not living up to our expectations or that Sasha Cohen fell twice and only won the silver.
We need to stop focusing on the negatives/failures. I’d say making the Olympics in the first place should out-weigh any performance problems during the event.
