They send the most athletes. Relatively, the US isn't the most successful country.

No one really gives a shit about the Olympics, anyway. We all consider the Americans to be on copious drugs, and thus don't care any more.

That just means that we have the most of the best, we dominate more sports than anybody else

Nobody really gives a shit about the Olympics, though. You're going to have to accept that at some stage.

They're too full of drugs and cheats. No one cares any more.

The Olympics have been around longer and is a much larger event than any other international sporting competition, and contrary to what you believe includes more than just track and field.

**El Capitano Gatisto** · 07-13-2004, 12:55 PM

I know all about the Olympics, but they mean fuck all these days because countries, like the USA, and competitors are more interested in cheating to win than competing within the spirit of the ancient games. It's all about money and sponsorship, you might say.

So really, most of us just don't give a shit about the Olympics.

I could understand why someone from Ireland wouldn't care about the Olympics, but most of the world does

**El Capitano Gatisto** · 07-13-2004, 02:25 PM

Ha. An American commenting on what the rest of the world thinks. Good one.

You forget that the American attitude is actually far removed than the rest of the world, not the norm. The Olympics are nothing more than an occasional curiosity, which have lost any of the real interest people ever had due to the rampant cheating.

And you're right, we don't give much of a shit about athletics in Ireland. It's not because we don't win anything, because that wouldn't explain why we love rugby and football on the international stage. We're happy to see someone do well, of course.

BCWWF do you ever have any interest in sports that don't directly involve the US or American competitors? There is more to sport than the US.

The US beating a poor Polish team and a divided Portuguese team does not make them world beaters. Likewise, as ECG said the FIFA rankings are a joke.

Given the current investigations into the majority of US medal winners in the last Olympics they are hardly a good example to cite of US dominance.
