    The Olympics is just a bunch of privileged rich kids having fun in the main. A gathering of posh families congratulating eachother for spending the most money on their kids.

    Some, not all. For example good boxers are often from tougher backgrounds.

    But yeah, all the equestrian types must have had serious money. And other sports that require expensive equipment and / or private lessons.

    That's why I said in the main mate , but yeah sports rich kids don't fancy are still up for grabs.

    It's tory TV.

    Same with most sports these days.... working class can't afford to have coaches, dieticians and less cortisol from birth.

    Watched War chisora last night. That's a sport.

    It's the truth.

    Have you never noticed the lack of funding issues in poor communities?

    Do you think you can just pick up a horse and arrive these days ?

    Read the posts folder.. 'in the main' being key..

    Boxing? you don't get many people for Sussex taking up boxing, but if they did what would happen ? They'd have dieticians and coaches while Bradley from benwell would be using a car tyre a skipping rope and some beans.

    The Olympics is as I've said now just rich people having fun and getting congratulations for spending the most money.

    The best genetic talent isn't discovered in this country.

    Much appreciated and you're a man with dignity.

    Perhaps you can inform penfold.

    Read the post CC, ‘‘just one example of many’.

    Try eating the chip on your shoulder instead of balancing it there.

    Also, you’re now reverting to type. And my one example above proves you wrong.

    No it doesn't dumbo ! You need to understand the words ' in the main' You also do not understand that most the sports are now about privilege and wealth is essential.

    Have a look at the ‘bolded’ part in my last post. You’re mask is slipping.

    And ‘ dumbo’?? I left primary school many, many years ago. <laugh>
