But your twisted-panty rant is fun, so let's continue:



Actually, it was a Frenchman. The British held "Olympic events", but it was a national competition, not an international one.

The United Kingdom didn't see the modern Olympics until well after the turn of the century...



Are there no textbooks in school?

I had 'em.

My daughter had 'em.

My niece and nephew have 'em.

And what, exactly, did Chicago spend $50 million on?



She's a private citizen, and can do as she pleases, even if it pisses you off...



You sound bitter; like someone who's never excelled...
Ah, true, my life has been so much poorer for never really appreciating the uplift, glory and inspiration that is the sacred heritage of sport.

Greeks, but the Romans kept them up until the Christians banned them as Pagan in 396 CE

The modern ones have little resemblance, as they admit women and are not done in the nude.

Sorry, John, but one simple photo paints you only as a dismal failure at both addressing my points and backing up your own...
