I like it. It reminds me of pure sport. All the BS in sprots today really turns me off. Maybe that's why I kind of like NASCAR, and other motorsports. For the most part, they aren't to full of themselves, and still appear human, both good and bad.
I just can't picture Tony Stewart or Jeff Gordan, or Boris Said throwing down a Jerry McGuire third person line like "Boris Said doesn't go to childrens hospitals, the children can come to Boris Said....", but I have no problem imagining the other U.S professional athletes doing so.
Maybe that is part of the reason I really like the Olympics. With the exception of Bodie Miller, the other athlettes appear to be doing it for the sheer sport of it, not the fame or fortune which with the exception of 2 or 3 sports, there is little or no comercial future in.
