Im sorry but can these "mostly middle-aged men" count? I really want to hear their mental gymnastics for why there are 30(?) entries if it is selfish to compete with no chance of getting a medal... gee, lots of selfishness... how can you enjoy the sport at all? I mean... would they really rather a cap of like 5 skaters at the Olympics? I just don't get it.
I also don't get the idea that you can only bring glory to your country with a medal...ummm no. Brendan Kerry was last and I suspect many an Aussie would proudly say he brought glory to their country.
Honestly I find this attitude incredibly arrogant. No one is "too good" to be last at the bloody Olympics. Seems strange that selfishness is being used as the defense of something that screams of massive ego to me.
I don’t know. Sheesh. These are the same guys who think poor people are poor due to their own lack of character and all immigrants are criminals except the white ones? I don’t believe these things. Don’t shoot the messenger
