Its with a touch of humor and concern that I read the short article and pic of the curious story, Canadian Spectator Joins Synchronised Diving Event.
Why did he do it?
Because Golden Palace.com paid him to get up on the board with their web address written on his chest.
Should he be punished, undoubtedly.
Should Golden Palace be punished, most certainly.
Should the security at the games be re-examined? Hell yes!
Would he have done it without the financial incentive offered by Golden Palace? Probably not.
His fine should be somewhere around double what he got paid by Golden Palace. And Golden Palace's fine should be a huge multiple above that.
Ah, the Olympic spirit is alive and well. Make money even if you're not in the games themselves.
Aside from some of the real stories coming out of the games, the Olympics pretty well suck now. Slave to the almighty buck.
