Sports radio guy Jim Rome this morning savaged the upcoming Winter Olympics, calling them “the X Games, but not as interesting.” He said the Games of the Whatever Olympiad are full of sports we don’t care about, athletes we don’t care about, and hockey. I tend to agree — any sport that needs a judge is by nature less than ideal, and all competitive ice skating should be eliminated altogether. If you can compete in a tuxedo, it’s not a sport. Meanwhile, I do kind of like downhill skiing, remembering forever Franz Klammer in Innsbruck. But before I commit to a Derb/NASA-style “abolish ‘em” stance, I am just asking aloud, “Who cares?”
