I refuse to go out of this world spewing excuses.

No one is making excuses and, if you think I am, then I would respectfully suggest that you re-read my post. Rather, all I am doing is telling it as it is and without any sugar-coating.

The Olympic Games is one big corporate-fest and it's driven by globalisation rather than pride in individual nation states. Yes, many of us will read, and get a warm glow, from stories such as that of the Lesotho team even though such coverage tends to be both patronising and condescending.

I am fortunate enough to be able to attend some of the Olympic events this summer but enthusiasm for the games here in London is lukewarm ay best. Furthermore, until a few months ago I lived on the edge of a historic park which now houses an ugly stadium that will, in all likelihood, be used during the Olympics and then rarely used again - as was the Athens 2004 experience.


You go ahead and fight for the US uniforms to be made in the USA ..... Personally, I think that the USA has many more pressing issues to deal with.
