Olympic athletes are so much nicer than Professional (NBA,NFL, MLB, etc.) I made a video to honor all there achievements go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAL3xcrK1Q4&feature=user to honor all of our athletes. What are your views about olympic athletes? I think they are all awesome.
Here it is for those of you who are to lazy.
Honoring the USA Olympic athletes
"What are your views about olympic athletes."Some of them are just too hawt for words!! Nice video btw

I'm not belittling them. They are possibly the greatest sportspeople alive.
But they're still just sportspeople. Sometimes it seems like people forget that.
"pyromaniac said:Some people are just cynical...if anyone can honestly say that a guy like clay, who won the decathlon or a guy like phelps or bolt who are almost inhuman are overrated then he or she is sadly mistaken."giyanks22 said:Thx.

"I know, but they don't make much money (excluding Michael Phelps). They are has happy as can be, and work as hard as they can to honor the country."
I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about fame.

Sure, they're nearly inhumanly fast/strong/whatever, but, aside from prestige, what do they bring home?
And quite frankly, prestige doesnt put food on the table.

List of events for the decathlon...I believe they gotta do all of this in like 2 days. Most of us would probably kneel over and give up after the first couple.
100 m | ||||
Long Jump | ||||
Shot Put | ||||
High Jump | ||||
400 m | ||||
110 m Hurdles | ||||
Discus Throw | ||||
Pole Vault | ||||
Javelin Throw | ||||
1500 m |
Moving on to Bolt...he ran about a 9.69 in the 100 m dash, probably would have been another .1-.15 second faster if he didn't start showboating at the 70meter line. An NFL athlete like Reggie bush who gets paid like 50million bucks does runs a 40yard dash in like 4.3 seconds..bolt can run that in under 3.8 seconds. Bolt is light years ahead of what the top paid athletes can do in the NFL.
Phelps won 8 golds in the Olympics....he swam against the best the WORLD could put up and he beat them all...no athlete in any sport other than the olympics could say that.
Also, about 28million in America care about the olympics, about 2 billion people in the world have seen the olympics. Much much much more than anything that goes on in the America. What the athletes bring home is Prestige and gold..and the knowledge that American Athletes are the best in that particular field. The olympics are the pinnacle of sports, have been for about a century and I am sure it will remain so for the foreseeable future.

Actually it was estimated at four billion.
And thank you for proving my point.

Sports. Not life-or-death.
Yeah well unfortunately, the olympics are becoming more and more a political statement than anything else.

- They increase morale back home and bring honor to our nation.
- They get TONS of sponsorships. Michael Phelps will be set for the rest of his life.
"atejas said:They do get sponsor ship...but I agree with you about bringing honor...thats why I made the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAL3xcrK1Q4"pyromaniac said:"giyanks22 said:Enjoy your opinion."pyromaniac said:Some people are just cynical...if anyone can honestly say that a guy like clay, who won the decathlon or a guy like phelps or bolt who are almost inhuman are overrated then he or she is sadly mistaken.""giyanks22 said:Thx.

In that I agree with you. And in that respect, it's important, or at least interesting, to see how the host country plays things out.
"pyromaniac said:ha thats actually what I put down first...I changed it for some reason..hmph!!about 28million in America care about the olympics, about 2 billion people in the world have seen the olympics.

all of them are great athletes. I feel bad for the womens gymnastic team because they were cheated out of the medals by 14 year-olds.
