The booing and the drama help make the Olympics interesting, but at what cost? When will people finally get tired of it and start watching the X-Games or competitive tire rolling instead?
Now we've gotten accustomed to reality shows where the goal is to see people acting foolish.
We play a game for a living.
Think about it - pro wrestling as an Olympic sport would be pretty cool. Look at figure skating or gymnastics - what is it? It's a choreographed performance that is judged.
Game shows are like golf and tennis are for some men. It's not like going to work.
Music and television are turning into the equivalent of gymnastics and tennis: sports built entirely around the identification and training of prodigies.
