Oh-fical olympics thread

[nikimcbee]

I'll roll out my standard winter olympics complaint. And yes, I've been on sport's talk radio with this AND both hosts agreed with me.

Why do they have women's hockey as a olympic sport? Really now, there are only 2 decent teams: the US and Canada. All of the other teams suck. Where's the sport in this, all they (US/Canada) have to do is get off the plane and one of them is getting the gold. They should just have the US and the Canadian team play each other head to head 7 times, winner take all. Then let the other teams play each other as they are mostly on the same skill level. I would argue the demand-development-skilled players of women's hockey in North America is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay higher than Europe (and the Chinese women that are drafted into hockey by the state).

Plus, I'd even argue that women's hockey is pretty d&mn boring if you ask me, and yes I've seen a bunch of matches. It's like watching a peewee hocky match.
