I, for one, am very glad that the American 4x100M relay team enjoyed
themselves on their victory lap, especially if it hurt their "earning
potential." True, it is not in the Olympic Spirit these days to make
important decisions without your agent and accountant at hand, but their
celebrating and grandstanding was thus even more clearly real elation at
having won rather than shameless self-promotion. Contrast their "boorish"
behavior with Dick Ebersol's proud boast that the Olympics are still the #1
television draw, and then think hard about who is really showing more of the
proper Olympic Spirit...
