The Olympics are on?

Did you know this? Because the majority of American's don't. Either that or they just don't care.

People aren't watching the Olympics this year. Ratings are in and American Idol romped all over the great games on both Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Anybody wanna venture a guess as to why?

I personally have never really gotten into the Olympics. Some of the events are cool but over the years it's really become a commerical event. Every three seconds an olympic althelte is starring in a commercial. Or they have a special on some arrogant jerk that happens to be able to ski and how awesome he is. I think this is one of the reasons that people aren't watching them. They are sick and tired of networks expoliting our desire to see our atheltes play their games. I also think that Americans are less patriotic than they used to be. If you think about the movie "Miracle" it was about the US hockey team beating the U.S.S.R. in the Olympics. This event united a nation, why? Because Americans cared about being proud of their country. They wanted to see the athletes representing them succed and know that their team was the best in the world. Now, thanks partially to a media that tells us being American is wrong, we don't care. We are the MTV generation that can't sit still for more than 5 seconds and have been indoctrinated with a philosiphy that we are bad. We are not bad, America is the greatest nation on God's green earth and it will stay that way if we can get Republicans to start acting like conservatives again. But that's another blog.
