If you live in the USA, you could be forgiven for thinking that the only people competing at the Olympics are Americans. They give new meaning to the word parochial. Yet they complain of Chinese censorship. With the Olympics, the US becomes completely self-absorbed. It is solipsistic, egoistic self-absorption – narcissism on a grand scale.
Sadly they were not united in either the men's or women's 4 x 100 metres relay cos they dropped the old stick twice! What is this? Kids in the schools sports don't drop the baton. Yet these Olympic Americans can't keep the baton off of the ground.
I used to think that Nu Zulun coverage was parochial – but all is forgiven. Nu Zulunders are in fact generous in their praise for sports talent from whatever country. Indeed Nu Zulun TV commentary is peppered with superlatives about athletes from other countries, including the USA.
