Today's blog will talk about my Olympic experience in Vancouver (not about sport).
I am amazed by Canadians attitude a these Games. I am personnally a proud Canadian but I feel that there is a 'Leafs' attitude around here. What I mean by a Leafs attitude is this arrongance. After winning the Men's Hockey game versus the Slovaks, people in the Vancouver street were chanting USA SUCKS... This sword of attitude, in my opinion, is not representative of being a Canadian. It is awesome to cheer for your country and to hope, but instead of being cut throat about, it we should congratulate extraordinary human performance no matter the sport...
Again on this atittude that is present in Vancouver, people seem to take the Games as a drinking feast. Every single event that we went to people in front and behind us in the stands were drunk. When we get back from event people in the street are drunk. When we exit the HBC superstore (my volunteer experience), people are drunk. People start drinking really early and do not know when to stop. Some of you will say well what the hell drinking is part of sport, I don't disagree. But I do think that 'drunkeness' ruins the Olympic spirit. In my opinion if you want to get drunk watching these events you should stay home. Why pay 100 of dollars to watch live events when you can't enjoy the event or even remember it...
What I'm describing here, is that Canadian?
