Wow. Just go to the website and pick a video, article, whatever. Anything. And scroll down to the comments.
Look at the "Cross country in the Olympics" vid comments.
"Yes!!!! I would like see a XC race in the 7K, 8K, 10K, 15K & 20K..."
so this guy wants a 7K and an 8K... and THREE OTHER DISTANCES.
"classic competition between countries battling out on a course for miles... perfection"
Okay, real insightful there.
"Spiiiiinziiiii"
Is that some kind of idiotic "meme" among high schoolers now? Wow.
"Sure. They have a lot more snow in this picture than in Sochi."
The ski events are held in the mountains where there's plenty of snow, dude.
"I was literally just talking about this! :)"
Congrats, no one cares.
"YES for so many reasons, chief among them that the Winter Olympics are highly exclusionary. By their adherence to the asinine notion that only activities on winter surfaces may be in the winter games, they exclude those regions without wintry climates...namely African, South America and Australia. The Winter Games, I believe, should be for any activity that takes place during the wintry season. Let us have basketball in the winter games. And let us have cross country. Not only that, let us have indoor track! Give athletes the world over the chance to participate. Double the number of opportunities they have to win gold, by enabling them to participate in the winter games as well as the summer games."
I'm cringing.
"Yes AND Indoor track."
