    People think the Olympics is about them. It’s not. People even think the Olympics is about countries and its not that either. It’s about human athletic endeavor, or how a person can push themselves through training and dedication.

    Therefore, the most important opinion should come from the person themselves. What did Caitlyn Clark say? She said she didn’t mind at all, and it gave her a goal for the future. In addition, she said in effect, “go team”. Why? Because obviously the young woman knows about sportsmanship and has a lot of class.

    This is unlike those that try for whatever reason who project themselves into her shoes. Shoes that would never fit them. Hell, I’ll say it…they couldn’t carry her jock strap. That woman can throw dimes from the logo all day,

      People think the Olympics is about athletics. It’s not. It’s about corporate sponsors and construction contracts.
