Why Bryant Gumbel won't watch the Winter Olympics
From Newsmax:
While covering the games from Torino, Italy, Gumbel mused:
"Count me among those who don't care about [the Olympics] and won't watch them... So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the winter games look like a GOP convention."
I wonder if he thinks there should be quotas for the US Winter Olympic team.

He makes an interesting point. For the most part, Winter Olympic sports are obscure and cost a lot of money to play. We're talking about kids whose parents spent a lot of money on equipment and lessons for them to get good at things like skiing, snowboarding, and figure skating. I don't even know how someone becomes involved in luge.
But seriously, should we not take the NBA seriously because of the paucity of white, Asian, and hispanic atheletes? I guess he doesn't watch NASCAR.
Bryan is such a turkey.
Sorry, BryanT.
