Or watching quite possibly the fastest man ever do a show the last 15 feet or so because he gets paid for breaking records.
Sorry, the Olympics don't mean shit to me anymore, there's no pride for me in watching like there was years ago.

Please stay on point - there are plenty of other Olympic threads going on to vent about.
This thread is about what sports or events people want to see included in the Games.

They have started to do some of that - both mountain biking and BMX are now part of the Games, but I could see roller-blading coming in at some point.
