I've watched everyday of the Olympics so far and am loving it! It's been great. You really see how hard these people work to get where they are. I love to see the races and seeing who wins. It's great to be able to watch people that are to talented.

For the most part I have to agree with this statement. I don't like Baseball, in fact I considered one of the most boring sports right next to Basketball. Furthermore I'm curious as to how the writer of this article deems their opinion of "Women care about who wins the gold medal at the biggest sporting event of them all" as plausible with absolutely no backing in his article whatsoever. This is a typical article by Celizic, apologetic in nature, filled with little to no understanding of sports. I'll admit I have a bias against Celizic due to his continuing stupidity when it comes to his understanding of the NHL. If anything this whole entire article sounds like the Celizic is trying to sell women’s sports and at the same time try and score points with feminists. As for the games, I watch them on and off it just depends on the day.
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -Teddy Roosevelt
