The Olympics...O Hell...
It was recently announced during my absence from this lovely blog that the International Olympic Committe has successfully dropped baseball and softball from the sporting roster in the London 2012 Summer Olympics. Wow, France and England, why not just chop off America's massive penis since that would be a better lashing from your piss parade. One would easily think that the global anti-American sentiment felt by a majority of the world (and all of Los Angeles) would stay out of the Olympics; however, the smaller nations participating in the IOC flexed the insignificant power given to them to bat away at a few gold medals the US would certainly get. Jacques Rogge, the IOC President, has repeatedly shown a devotion during his term to do away with athletes doping up to do well in sports. This is a great mask as far as baseball goes, for it has shown a colorful past with players on steroids. What you must note is that the players known to have doped up are usually playing Left Field for the San Francisco Giants while bringing in $22 million or simply were in competition with Sammy Sosa to see who could break the home run record. At the same time, if we are trying to go for the axe on sports that are doped up, why not drop track&field or weight lifting? Hey, have you heard about doped up swimmers like...o, I dunno...Michelle Smith or the entire Chinese swim team? What is mind boggling is the fact that synchronized swimming remains on the roster for London and not baseball or softball...the artform "sport" makes me wonder if a replacement for baseball could be some branch of American Idol. It may as well be since it has more of a physical and mental endurance than a pirouette in the water! The entire ordeal is a hypocrisy to the fact that the IOC has clearly stated that it wants an increased female involvement in the Olympics. What does it do to achieve this? It drops softball. Brilliant.
