The Olympic Paradox
While you’re watching the Olympics, think about this:
- The Olympics represent the peak of athletic performance – but will be watched by billions of couch potatoes the world over
- The Olympics represent the triumph of amateurism – but are dominated by countries that pour millions of dollars into producing athletes to win for political glory
- The Olympics are supposed to be free from politics - but have become the focus for protests of all kinds
- The Olympics represent the peak of physical fitness – but are sponsored by companies whose products are anything but healthy
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
