Thank god they are over, people watching/playing sports will now have about 2 weeks of no major sporting events/competitions, and they will get to actually enjoy summer for being summer. For the people watching/playing the NBA Finals past mid July with the Olympics starting the same week, it really was getting silly. The NBA Finals ended over a month before that just a few years ago, and they never needed to go further than mid June. It was nice to have a full summer of no major sporting events/finals/playoffs, just casual regular season baseball games.
It didn't help the Olympics that they came right after the NBA Finals. People like to get a little summer in to enjoy it without thinking about what sporting event/competition is next, since that starts to get silly at a certain point. Not everybody wants a summer filled with competition after competition, it gets dull and silly at the same time.

The outrage olympics began when someone used the word "crippled" to describe the differently-abled person.

The Olympics are just games, so at the end of the day, if you're an athlete, hopefully you do what you want to do no matter what, from winning a medal to having a good time and not winning anything at all. It's not about what other people want you to do, since they are not there. What makes people happy and doing what they love isn't being lost, being lost is not having found something you love to be doing.
The Olympics are games, and people sometimes turn them into something beyond human. Life is not a comic book.

Olympe is a very kind and beautiful person. She could do anything for her friends and family. She is honest and has a lot of humour. If you are her friend take care of her she is very special.

It's been a long day and I'm tired. I'm going home and doing an Olympic gold medal nose dive into the bed!

Hey Brian. You may judge me because...you know, I’m homeless, and shit. It’s not pretty. But last night I drank a lava lamp and fucked a German shepherd. That may be no big deal to you but I won the gold at the homeless Olympics! So fuck you.
