Yawn

At the local Starbucks where I do most of my research in human behavior, I notice that some people are yawning as they stand in line. Often they mention that they are tired from staying up watching re-broadcasts of Olympic events from China.

The only event I watched (briefly) was the US girls beach volleyball against the (anatomically challenged) Japanese team. I just cannot get interested in most Olympic sports. Watching the swimming events is even more tedious than the previous most-boring-sports-event on my list: Soccer. Let's face it, most of these athletic competitions are fun to do but a yawn for the spectators who are not relatives of the participants.

You know how I feel about Professional sports workers. I feel that the Olympic games have become the same genre of non-sport. These athletes are not about playing, they are deadly serious about winning, because they are all preparing for their careers! Games shmames! I think its a shame.

In the old days the US had a moral high road by only allowing amateurs to compete; now it's just like an all star game. excuse me, I can't keep from yawning.
