Bullshit Called On Winter Olympics. We Call The Same On The Summer Games!

It's Thoughtless Enthusiasm En Masse*, argues Chuck Klosterman at Esquire: "The Olympics are designed for people who want to care about something without considering why...In order to enjoy the Olympics, you can't think critically about anything. You just have to root for America (or whatever country you're from) and assume that your feelings are inherently correct. It's the same kind of antilogic you need to employ whenever you attend a political convention or a church service or movies directed by Steven Spielberg."

*Or, as we define it at Just Another Blog™: Nationalism tending towards fascism.
