As everyone must surely know after the continual barking of the BBC, the Olympics start on the 27th July. We expect much fanfare and bluster to accompany it. But are Locog and the IOC sexist? The women's football starts on the 25th. Do they not see it as a part of the Olympics? Not a proper evocation of sport? What?
As we see from the stupid sponsor protection and the Olympics roads, it is a corruption of the original ideal, run by complete and utter morons. Why we had to get a group of people, some of whom we used to respect, to form Locog and engage their own version of this stupidity, I cannot begin to guess.
I hope the sport survives through it and it isn't marred by more Olympic scale nonsense and triviality.
