Safe to watch again

Well, finally, the RIO Olympics is over.  All the spoiled elite whiny so-called athletes can go home.  No more endless video images of  Michael Phelps, with his obscene number of gold medals (Hey Mike, give someone else a chance for chrissake).  The last thing the Olympics is about is sportsmanship.

And goodbye to that other cringeworthy swimmer, Ryan Lochte whose brief flame has been extinguished by his ugly-American antics.

No more tedious medal counts to re-enforce America's claim to be #1,  Now I get it, the other countries hate us because we run faster than them, oh wait except Jamaica.

No more watching grown athletes cry because they lost, or instead of shaking the hand of the winner, saying they played like cowards.  Apparently, nobody told these entitled little pricks that the agony of defeat is most nobly endured with a wan smile.

I did not watch any of the events, except a few fragments when some contest was playing on the big screen at my favorite watering hole.
I do need to amend my previous comments on one discipline: synchronized swimming.  I was amazed at the talent and strength that these swimmers displayed.  My opinion of synchronized swimming has undoubtedly been affected by the SNL comedy rendition.  (Done at the kiddie end of the pool).

Clearly the routines are very demanding and even interesting to watch.  But if this is an Olympic Sport then so should be teh Cirque Du Soleil acts.  Juggling is pretty demanding physically and mentally.

Anyhow it is over.  Perhaps it's safe to watch the evening news again.

Isn't there an election going on?
