I have to say one thing about the Olympics.

I don't know the intricate rules and regulations, but I was always under the impression that Olympians were not professionals.

That said, I hereby vote (as IF I even HAVE a vote!) that the Olympics held every four years should NOT INCLUDE ANY PROFESSIONAL SPORTSPEOPLE.

Period.

I'm sitting here watching Olympics tennis. Now who do you suppose the lady is who is whipping the pants (or skirts) off all of her opponents? Yep. Serina-billionnaire-Williams. I might as well be watching a regular tennis grand slam and not something special like the Olympics.

Amateurs. This should be for previously unpaid amateurs who go out and excel in their sports because of the pure passion in their souls.

Tennis has been the only event I've watched because I like tennis, but I am turning it off right now, as Serina is up 5-1 against Victoria Azarenka, both of whom have made a lot of money in this sport.

I don't like it.

And I want it to change.

Who's with me?

(Anyone against me?)

Let's hear your arguments, for or against.

(I have another entry to make soon. Just took pictures and will be posting them soon. This is just a random rant entry... I need to vent!)

Grrr...

Cheers for Amateur Olympics,

Bex
