We're raising a next generation of slackers, so why try. It would be nice to have athletic role models outside of hockey that we can actually look up to, not somebody who was estatic that they finished 58th in a race but hit a personal best. Raise the damn bar

Watching some Olympic coverage tonight and I saw some Americans win more gold medals and I thought of this conversation we are having here.
They have more athletic role models than anyone and they've been kicking ass in the Olympics forever but lo and behold they are the fattest people in the history of the world (with us a close second I am sure).
I don't really know if I'm arguing with anyone with that point but it seemed sort of relevant to the conversation. Whether or not it actually is or not I don't know, as I am too fat and lazy (I'll blame it on the crappy medal count) to read the whole thread again.
