Now we all know there is a whole lot of drama surrounding these upcoming Olympics as far as Chinese human rights violations, pollution, the government's iron fist, etc. I just hope these Olympics go off without a hitch. No drama, no scares, no nothing. Just pure athletic greatness. IM SO FREAKING PSYCHED!!!! |
