Tony’s question for today is “What’s the medal count?”
Sorry, the answer will have to come from somebody who’s counting.
You know, it’s not that I don’t admire all those fine young athletes and what they can do…but I’m not into sports, or watching them…
And using their talents in the service of an international bragging contest has never interested me.
I’m especially appalled when it involves pushing them into stress, doping, backbiting, overtraining injuries…and all the other things that can happen when scores become more important than love of a sport, and comparisons count more than sportsmanship.
