HBO's Bryant Gumbel: "Finally, tonight, the Winter Games. Count me among those who don’t care about them and won’t watch them ... Because they’re so trying ... Like, try not to be incredulous when someone attempts to link these games to those of the ancient Greeks who never heard of skating or skiing. So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world’s greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention. Try not to point out that something’s not really a sport if a pseudo-athlete waits in what’s called a kiss-and-cry area, while some panel of subjective judges decides who won ... So if only to hasten the arrival of the day they’re done, when we can move on to March Madness — for God’s sake, let the games begin."The Winter Olympics are a boring waste of time. For that matter, so are the Summer Olympics to an extent and they do include a lot of 'black' athletes. The only events I like in the Summer Olympics are, boxing, track and basketball....Which is exactly what Bryrant Gumbel is saying, isn't it?
