Disappointed, but not at the Olympics
Dear Canadian Media,
I am tired, absolutely tired of phrases like “only # medals” and “disappointment” and “let down”. Canada is having one of their best games ever and continue to have hopes with a week left in the games.
Last night we lost, arguably, the most anticipated single game of the Olympics and what happened? We were on the streets of Vancouver with flags, horns, spontaneous national anthem singing, chants for our country and our athletes. I have seen the Maple Leaf on clothing and body parts here that I didn’t even know you could put it on.
The Canadian public is more psyched than ever before. Stop making up useless news and report the facts. Do the country you claim to represent proud and support these athletes who deserve more respect than the millionaire entertainers in the NBA, MLB, NFL etc.
I, for one, am not only impressed by our athletes, but feel absolutely lucky to be involved in this display of undeniable patriotism that rarely peeks through in The Great White North.
GO CANADA GO!
Sincerely,
A Canadian
