I think you made a wonderful Freudian Slip when you said enjoy the "spotsmanship." That's all it really is-a few nice "spots" while terrorists plunder Tibet, while a man whose job it was to ruin a culture (and a people) acts as head of the IOC , while bigotry tarnishes every event. Check the racist photo the Spanish swim team took for this Olympics.
I love sports and athletics but I can no longer see it without knowing the rottenness behind these nice "spots."

I have been watching this amazing swimming action. I love track and field and boxing best though! But I will watch nearly any event EXCEPT gymnastics!

He actually did an interview yesterday with ESPN and he said he would be back for 2012, but he wouldn't swim in all 8 events again. We'll see if he doesn't change his mind about that. He'd only be 27.
