The booing and the drama help make the Olympics interesting, but at what cost? When will people finally get tired of it and start watching the X-Games or competitive tire rolling instead?
Now we've gotten accustomed to reality shows where the goal is to see people acting foolish.
We play a game for a living.
Game shows are like golf and tennis are for some men. It's not like going to work.
Think about it - pro wrestling as an Olympic sport would be pretty cool. Look at figure skating or gymnastics - what is it? It's a choreographed performance that is judged.
Music and television are turning into the equivalent of gymnastics and tennis: sports built entirely around the identification and training of prodigies.
