My Number One reason to stop watching the Olympics

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I sat down last night to watch some Olympic coverage. First up in the lineup was synchronized diving. I was getting into it until I realized that the commentators were idiots and I was ready to stop watching altogether just because of them.

I can hear you asking me, “But Kevin, what could they have possible said that was so bad?”

It was ridiculous just how much they were kissing the Chinese divers’ asses. I mean come on now people. The Americans would get criticized badly for their minor mistakes but the Chinese would get praised regardless of what they did.

At one point the female commentator (whose name I don’t care to know) actually said (and I’m paraphrasing) - the Chinese had a few minor mistakes but they are just so great that it was a great dive.

I don’t remember her exact words but the point she was making is that since they are great divers they can do no wrong. Well hell, let’s just forgo the competition and give them gold since they are so great and completely infallible.
