Olympics, I Have A Boner To Pick With You!
I am absolutely addicted to the Olympics every time they come on. My favorite, however, has always been the summer games. But, I have a serious boner to pick with them this year!
The Ancient Olympics began a long ass time ago in Greece in 776 BC as a religious and athletic celebration every 4 years to celebrate Zeus but the Roman Emporer Theodosius I put a stop to them in 393 AD because he deemed them a pagan thing. What an idiot! However, they started back up in Athens, Greece in 1896 thanks largely to Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) of France who worked his butt off to get them going again. Thanks, dude!
Now, I have never seen so damn many injuries before in all my life alive watching my beloved Olympics and gruesome ass hell to boot.
I’ve seen a cycling lady go head first into a concrete gutter thingy and not damn move at all making my blood pressure go up several notches until I heard she was conscious but in shock. No shit, in shock, she just hit her damn head straight into a concrete gutter thingy!
I saw another couple of cyclists crash and suffer broken collar bones while lying on the side of a dangerous ass hard to help them at the moment road in severe pain as they watched everyone else go by.
And as I was eating my soup the other day, I watched a male gymnast running his ass as fast as he could down the runway, bounced off of his little trampoline thingy, and do flippy’s over that horse thingy, flip some more, and then when he landed, crumpled to the ground, rolled over, and OMG there goes my soup right back into the bowl with vomit to boot, his leg was on very sideways and looked damn fake. WTF?! INSERT SOME MORE HURLING HERE!
I saw another female gymnast land on her damn head and I thought, “Shit, there goes another one and I need to stop damn eating while I watch the nauseating Olympics because I’m about to puke yet again!”
And I will say this with utter satisfaction, I did not see the weight lifter dude who dislocated his damn elbow because that would have just done me in.
I did some research on these hideous injuries and supposedly the numbers this year are comparative to the numbers in the past but then one of my kids told me that they heard that this is the most injuries that have ever occurred since the beginning of the modern Olympics. I think I damn well believe my kids!
I’m not sure what’s going on but I get sick thinking about these poor athletes who have trained their asses off to be there and how utterly painful, disappointed, and worried they must be when their leg is hanging on sideways or they dislocated their elbow or all the other horrific injuries to their human bodies that have occurred. Bless y’all, really!
To all the Olympic athletes out there, kick ass, but not your own! I’m praying for all of the injured!
Love y’all!! ♥
