1. I learned that a country can exploit children because apparently “winning is the only thing that matters”.

4. I learned that you can be an intolerable country 99% of the time, but when the Olympics come your way, the media forgets about it.
5. I learned that team basketball can still be a concept amongst NBA superstars.
6. I learned that maybe Egyptians aren’t as athletic as I once thought them to be (1 Medal with 104 athletes)
7. I learned that you can suck at a sport but still be massively popular (please see Leryn Franco)
8. I learned that Michael Phelps will probably be the talk of the world the next couple of weeks but that people will forget who he is by Halloween.

Question regarding item “4. I learned that you can be an intolerable country 99% of the time, but when the Olympics come your way, the media forgets about it.”
Are you saying that we ARE an intolerable country, or that the media delights in professing us to be an intolerable country?
Just wanted a point of clarification.

Ahhhh … gotcha … I’m so used to the MSM bashing our own country I took your comment in an entirely different direction.
China … your right … absolutely, no discussion about how all of those beautiful buildings were built … the human rights violations regarding “slave” labor to accomplish the goals of the “state”.
But then again, the MSM didn’t/wouldn’t want to upset the apple cart. After all, they spent a lot of $$ for the rights to the broadcast. You broadcast truth and reality, and you won’t recover your costs, let along profit.
Follow the money!
