What you get with the olympics is personal stories, each far more compelling than the spoon fed, over privileged footballers we watch each week. The dedication and obsession that each competitor shows, and all their unrewarded hard work that they do in private, without the support of anyone but their families is abundantly evident and utterly compelling. I'm overjoyed for each winner and gutted for each loser. I never feel that way as a neutral watching football. The fact that these people are the absolute elite in the world, yet by and large aren't celebrities really makes you feel connected to them, and humanises their achievements in a way that the world of elite football now misses

Well said that man. 

Clearly its that black and white ffs, footballers are massively overpaid silver spooned prima donnas and Olympic athletes are the salt of the earth.

Usain Bolt earned $20.3m last year

Oh Hey...

Im not Olympic bashing here btw, I just cant understand why some people cant value one type of thing without taking potshots at another, in this specific case footballers, from a poster on Red and White Kop, a football forum.
