Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 Thought I would add my two cents about the Olympics. I worked in the Athletes' Village during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. I do feel that when the United States hosts the Olympics, that they spend far too much time covering mostly American Athletes. I was disappointed in the coverage of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. As far as sportsmanship, well, boorish behavior is international in scope, I'm afraid. I saw wonderful examples of generous acts towards teams with few funds, having equipment donated to them by countries that were better off. I also saw losing teams act very badly by trashing their suites in the Village, and I mean, trashed! Go figure!
