I had been waitig for a reading like this to come along. I was glad to start reading about the Olympic games and what it meant to compete in those games. I liked how money and social status affected who got to compete because back the that is all they had to comppare people. They had no real organized pro teams that everyoe knew about. If you wanted to prove you were good then give us money basically. I like the fans prospective on the Olypmic games. They didnt mind throwing a few pennies to watch the games because they admired the athletes so much and appreciated their talents. Most importantly, although a war would havbe been going on, it was nice to see that the olympics made every forget about the war.

Money's a big thing for you when it comes to sport, yeah? Is it the 'levelling' power of money (ie money 'talks', wherever you're from)? The purity of market forces? That everyone and thing has its price?
