I love these responses so much. For those who don’t know, it’s that they started singing “Imagine” at the opening ceremony of the Olympics…

Precisely the reaction we are programmed to display. When critical thinking SHOULD have us considering the fact that only the wealthy CAN be in the Olympics. It has been co-opted from "best on earth at xyz", to being best among the empowered. I have zero time for elitism.

That is an inaccurate portrayal of the socioeconomic reality of the average Olympic athlete.

Not buying it that some poverty stricken kid can afford some Olympic coaching and access to all the equipment, travel, training. Either they have money or they got some sponsor that has money. It's games for moneyed elites.

Really? Kids can't even play football anymore- if their folks can't afford uniforms. Coaches? Gear? Travel? Only the top quintile can do it.

I write books. It’s a bad habit I have, looking in the dictionary and all that kind of stuff.
