As mentioned below, I\’m currently watching Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh dominate the Japanese in women\’s beach volleyball (poker-playing b-baller Jason Kidd is also watching the game, albeit from the stands, not on TV — as the NBA players are apparently making a concerted effort to be part of the Olympic experience) and there\’s all this talk about the wonders of the Olympics … the whole world coming together, men, women people from all races, religions, and countries … putting their problems aside to engage in spirited competition … Where else, when else, do you see this sort of thing, an announcer asks …
And though I think he meant it as a rhetorical question … I\’ve actually got an answer: in an online poker room. Except instead of every four years, it\’s pretty much constant.
