A Different Look at the Olympic Games

In the midst of all the BS about politics and unbalanced competitive spirits, this girl, and her countryman embody what is, to me anyway, the true olympic spirit

Somalia's Best

I was in tears by the end of this story. These two athletes came up through the absolute worst of circumstances and competed with the best of the best. That is what the olympics are supposed to be about. They aren't about flash, and style. They aren't about who's country is the best. The olympics are about ATHLETES. They are about individuals who have worked to compete with other individuals from around the world.

I really wish that the major powers of the world would stop using these young people (and some not so young) as tools with which to measure their proverbial dicks.

Yes, I realize that this is a foolish wish. So sue me for being a freaking dreamer.
