Heard this on the news: "Following Phelps's stunning victory with 8 gold medals this summer olympic games, there has been a spike in interest in sports, especially swimming.."
New coaching plans are that athletes in training (youths >18) will no longer have to wake up at 4.30am to train. They can do so at 7.30am due to the removal of their having to contend with daily social lifestyle. They only have to contend and focus on their sports.
What does this make them? This reminds me of cattle. The cattle's' day to day activities build up and fruition only in their death, which eventually leads to our dinner plates.
The athletes? Exactly the same. They will be neglecting all other forms of social life and activities, just so they can train. And organizations are all for it, having pooled up money to support their entire lives.
For glory and gold, we are willing to convert these humans into animals?
Wow. Totally blew me over. Where can I sign up? Can I do that for my children too? At least I can secure their future post-peak oil. Hopefully.

We fail to remember that as athletes, they love what they do and of course for THEIR OWN olympic glory, they train and sacrifice. Frankly the emphasis on wining for the country has shrunk greatly thanks to misplaced patriotism.
Cattle? Thats too harsh. They are the embodiment of determination. If for any reason they, feel like animals, then they're in the wrong profession
yes, most love what they do. and what would happen if they get injured? what if they retire? they will be forced to live in retirement homes skill-less?
yes they sacrifice. yes they get their rewards. but i think this latest move is perhaps a little too harsh. especially for athletic youths aged like us.
you cannot deny that behind every single action, lies a political motive, or can be twisted to from a political motive. patriotism was created by man. so was everything else we know of.
before you know it, eugenics will be in use..
already has been in use la dey.
it was in use small scale. now the axis of all evil and capitalism, Amerika is gonna expand it throughout all 48 states and then to the rest of the vorld!!!
