For fear of adding fuel to the flames, I have to
make a comment. First off, if I were Sheikh Mohammed and I read some of the
posts on ride-camp, I dont think it would give me a great view of the American
population either! There are a whole lot of whining people out there who are
just sore losers! Come on now! Where is the spirit of sportsmanship? I was under
the impression that endurance riders had a really firm understanding of good
sportsmanship. Remember: to complete is to win? Jeez! What happened to that?
Just step back and listen to all of us! Its a shame!
Secondly, lets not forget the spirit of the Olympic
games. (someone brought THAT up). Athletes are NOT supposed to be politically
biased AT ALL! It seems that sadly some people have forgotten how to compete on
a healthy level with others, how to win graciously and more importantly, how to
loose graciously! Also, the only way you loose, is if you leave an experience
without learning anything! Hmmm! I wonder what we could learn here?
And how the heck did this discussion turn into a
political soap box! Hello every-one. This is a SPORT! Lets never forget
that!

Olympics as a gymnast, but couldn't due to POLITICS!)
