Gold standard
The Olympic games have gotten me amped. Watching someone sprint 100 meters between nine and 10 seconds makes me want to emulate the achievement — of both physicality and will.
I wonder: If this country swapped out inane TV shows like Extra, Maury and The Hills with programming related to sports competitions like swimming, track and volleyball maybe we’d strive for healthy rewards rather than material ones.
Only 17 days of inspiration every four years is just not enough.
