That's definitely not true with all the sponsorship programs that go on through the year or so leading up to the Olympics. Excel gum donates a dollar from every pack to athletes. McDonald's gives a lot to athletes, so if I eat at McDonald's I am providing money to the athlete's no? You still haven't told us what you do that is so important compared to these athletes.

If you can find me one person who starting chewing excel gum or eating McDonald's' specifically for the reason that they were sponsoring Olympic programs I'll...... call you and that person a liar.

They have no choice. It's the law. While not buying flames tickets should be frowned upon.. its not against the law.
Fighting losing battles usually isn't worth anyones time.

The Olympics have taught me that curling is an annoyingly LOUD sport. Glad I don't have to watch it for 4 more years.

It's more that they're more high pitched and annoying sounding than the men. Like birds.

The men are loud too. Hockey fans are loud, but I've come to appreciate that noise! It's a soothing roar, not a grating screech!
