Default China apologises for roughing up journalists on eve of Games

Chinese police Tuesday apologised for roughing up two Japanese journalists as Beijing's Olympic commitment to allow foreign media freedom came under scrutiny three days before the Games opened.

This could also turn out to be entertaining!

Seriously! I like playing sports, can't stand watching them on TV. Except maybe hockey. This year is fun because there's a big issue overshadowing the games.

My thoughts exactly. Can't stand watching sports, but sign me up to play - no problem! Loved soccer. Still do but haven't found anyone that still plays it.
