Olympic Disadvantage

Huzzah!!! Post number 60!! Yay me!!!

Ok right into my headline story... The Olympic Disadvantage. Many people start training for the olympics at a real young age. Think like 3, and we'll say they get into gymnastics or ice skating. You pick your least hated olympics. They then spend every waking minute either practicing, think about practicing, or learning impossible jargon nobody else can understand.

They spend 15 years of their life learning nothing they could possibly use in regular life only to fall on their ass come their big performance. What's left of their life? They wasted it for a piece of metal that in a couple years nobody cares about.

Warning to my female readers... the following statement is of low-brow wrestling please skip to the next paragraph. To D-von I mean seriously, who cares who many medals Kurt Angle has? The guy is hated. How many times outside of WWE do people talk about his gold medals? None. But at least he did find a full time job to use the skills he learned.

How many jobs are out there for figure skaters? Diz-nee on ice? Coach? Sports special correspondant? That's bout it. Quite a losing hand if ya ask me. Is the time and money spent on learning this "skill" worth the effort and the investment? I doubt it.

Do I even enjoy watching ice skating? What's more annoying than the flamboyant outfits they wear? The fact that backflips are only done by Scott Hamilton. I jump in and out on rare occassions hoping to see them... as posted before... fall on their asses.
