The Not So Flattering Side of the Olympics – Dave’s Top 5
I love the idea of the Olympic Games. I’m a traditional sports fan (football, baseball, some basketball only), but the Olympic Games has the ability to catch my attention and make me watch sports I wouldn't normally watch if you paid me. Every four years, I watch swimming, track and field, gymnastics, volleyball and even caught some team archery (how about them South Koreans?). I even watch the Opening Ceremony. But after watching the Games on its first weekend in Great Britain, I have some issues I need to air about what I’m seeing this time around. So here's my top 5 least flattering parts of the Olympics.
