Does anyone else remember when the Olympics were actually something everyone really got pumped about? I think to the 1984 olympics, I was 8, and EVERYBODY was into it. I ask my students at school and none of them really care or even know what is going on. I remember even in 1992 there was a pay-per-view 'triple-cast' thing. Can you even imagine anyone actually paying to see the olympics today?? I mean I am kind of curious mostly because I wonder if there will be some sort of crazy terrorist attack or something, not to see who gets the most gold medals... The only thing that really saved the 2002 olympics was that skating scandal, (and I think the fact that it was in the U.S. didn't hurt either...)
Anyone else? Anybody care?
