Talk:Olympics

Suggestions
There is a long history for the Olympics. There is much known about the Olympics. There are summer and winter games. There have been many controversies. There have been many stars, heroes and disappointments. Yet, this page mentions none of it.
 * get rid of the meme-dependancy, the Chuck Norris joke works when his accomplishments are exaggerated. There are no mentions of his abilities in this page.  But, it is doubtful that even Chuck Norris jokes could help the page in the condition it is now in)
 * No mention of the inventors of the Olympics? Weren't they Greek? Doesn't that mean they're gay!?
 * Several controversies have tarnished the Olympics over the years:
 * the ridiculous activities that have been given "Olympic Sports" status (bowling?)
 * the use of professional athletes have tipped America's hand in many of the different sports
 * drug use by athletes
 * the real genders of the participants
 * when they are played was rumored to have been changed to favor America, and other rich, Western nations. (Both the summer and winter games were played in the same year, and then four years after that. Now, the winter games are still played 4 years apart, as are the summer games, but they are not played in the same year, they are seperated by 2 years.)
 * television coverage is retarded
 * corporate sponsorship has corrupted the games, from:
 * which city is picked to host
 * television coverage
 * the Olympic-Corporate Sponsorship Complex
