If the NHL played at the 1980 Olympics would it still be a miracle?
It is supposed to be about "amateur sports" not "Pro's"
Is getting 14 Golds which is a record for any nation nice? I guess, but is it really earned when NHL guys bring it home?
The Russians are having a hissy fit & cross the Canada/US border people are trading barbs about the prowess of thier athletes.
That can't please God.
Remember, we in Vancouver will still be paying for this when most of you retire!
What did you think of the games?
PS Congrats to the US for winning all those medals. |
I thought it was a great Olympic year, I thought Canada did wonderful, and I am super proud of America, we broke the Winter Olympics record for most medals won by a country! Pretty cool!
And, I am apparently a racist (tic!) I am not real fond of Russians at this point in time...
