The thing that bothers me the most about all of this is the whole "country" thing. Here's why (these numbers are based on my viewing, not anything firm I've seen anywhere):
It seems that at least half of the athletes I've seen competing in the olympics for countries other than USA live here in the USA. There were a few Canadians competing for other countries too. What the hell? If the country sucks so bad that you have to represent someone else, get the hell out!
