Olympia?

[arpad]

I am not a sport man. Nor I am a sport hater. This is just completely outside of my interests field.

Therefore, LJ is the only channel that feeds me Olympic news.

And what do I get via this channel? Not "Look how nice she run" or "Look how beautiful he jump". Instead I read "she used doping, but was caught", "judges are bought", "USA got too many medals", "Olympic jury politics are false and aimed to give each country their own gold share", "Iran-Israel boycott case" etc

Sorry, dear friends, but you confirm my suspicion that athletics are dead.

Worse, they've turned into politics.

Sensationalism in the media creeps into the ways we perceive the information
A positive news would not cause much of the commotion, thus one would turn to another source of the information... and who would want that? :)

То есть советуешь брать поправку на то что основной жанр ЖЖ - это ворчалка?

Точно. If you want to make sure athletics is not dead - just watch them running!

And put your TV on mute. moshez рассказывал мне позовчера как он слышал комментатора во время футбольного матча, который разъяснял почему (!!) команде не стоило пропускать гол!!
