Good Sports

Tomorrow we'll bid farewell to the Summer Olympics, but I must say that I liked the fact practically everyone in the world has been cheering for "their team" the past two weeks. Sports can have a bad name in some circles -- I've even been told that WE place too much importance on hockey and volleyball. But for today, at least, the Schmidling's level of determination in competitive sports is pale in comparison to the investment of most Olympians and their parents. Go, Michael Phelps! He deserved 8 gold medals.
