Maybe athletes don't want to risk their lives for a grand gesture? We can achieve something. Just not this.

- aaron695 7y ago> Maybe athletes don't want to risk their lives for a grand gesture? It's like we are in clownland. They are not going to war. They will get it anyway. And it's highly unlikely to harm them. They would be in one of the lowest categories. So they can sit on their buts getting fat and catch it, or continue with their lives, being in the lowest catogries as well as having the highest control over their bodies often with teams at the ready to help. If you can't protect your million $ athletes how are you protecting your million 80 year olds? And the choice should be theirs.
- beatgammit 7y agoI imagine it's less about the athletes than the spectators. Or at least I hope so, since the Olympics is best watched in groups.
