[quote=Anonymous]Anyone who thinks the Olympics has anyone to do with sportsmanship is delusional. It is about a chance to make money for athletes from first world countries and a chance for athletes from other countries to obtain enough status in their country that they can get a decent job as a coach or even be able to practice their sport. The ancient games were not about sportsmanship but about how the various city states could gain a competitive edge with their warriors/athletes Sparta was banned from the games for years because they wouldn't bathe. If you want to live in the unicorn world a poster mentioned upthread, continue to believe that the Olympics are abut sportsmanship. And I have only mentioned the athletes not the bureaucrats associated with the games. [/quote]
