With the opening ceremony in Beijing merely hours away, how much of the Olympic games will YOU be watching?
My girlfriend is from China, and whenever these stories come out I always bust on her about it. China is one MESSED up country...I don't even think we should be there. China already yanked the passport of one of our athletes for being the leader of a Darfur protest group. The restrictions on the press, the chinese public not being alowed to say nearly anything to the athletes or visitors. I don't know how we can participate in this sham.
I prefer the Winter Olympics.
None of the Summer Olympic events get me as truly excited like the hockey tournament, though I'll try and catch men's hoops, women's volleyball (Misty and Kerri), diving, and a few track and field events
I'll be jacked up for 2010 in Vancouver.
