Vancouver 2010 Olympic Ticket Price

[Logan]

I don't see what the uproar is about. At the end of the day, the Olympics is a business and they're out to make money. I don't see it being any different than the NHL charging astronomical prices to watch a Stanley Cup game.

Ole-Ole-Ole-Ole!

"Shattered by unparalleled grief, crushed by the blows of fate, yet still he (she) arises each day before dawn to (fill in with excruciating details of training, etc.)... (more adjective-laden drivel) to triumph, redemption and Olympic gold."

Then they lose and it's the fault of someone else, the weather, the referee, the coach, luck, karma, or excessive efforts to cover their doping activities, and the like.
