The Olympics now allows professional athletes, such as the Dream Team, to compete in the ancient contest of amateurs. I don't care. The Olympics are more fun to watch now. They take out all those boring events like the marathon and discus, and the commercials are almost as good as the Super Bowl ones. It was inevitable.
Sports are all about money and marketing.
Sports advertising has crossed the line. They might as well run the Olympic torch down Madison Avenue. Monica Lewinsky's service to humanity may pale in comparison to that of Christ, but Linda Tripp played a convincing Judas to the universal standard of friendship. That stuff should have been brought to light anyway, and Tripp has suffered at the hands of the media for selling the truth to Kenneth Starr. I've stopped gossiping about my lascivious activities over the phone.
