I’m sure you all know what a fan of the Olympics I am. I mean, each variety of Olympics only comes around every 4 years! During the 2008 summer games I was unfortunately out of the country and had to rely on my TiVo figuring out which sports to record. It didn’t work too well. So after the ’08 viewing fiasco, I’m set for 2010 in Vancouver.
And so is Stephen Colbert.
A while back he made an announcement that Colbert Nation would sponsor the US speed skating team following an announcement that their previous sponsor had gone bankrupt. Colbert Nation sponsoring the Olympics? HELL YES!
He’s bringing so much attention to the Games, and this makes me so happy. Even obscure sports like Curling are getting some media exposure. I still believe the best winter sport is the Biathalon: “ski ski ski! shoot shoot shoot!” – Seriously who came up with that one? lol. Whatever your pleasure, there’s something for everyone. Even Stephen Colbert. He’s gone around to some of the sports and demonstrated how they’re done. Surprisingly good at curling too!
Anyway I donated to this cause, and I feel really good about it. Paying a small amount of money to enjoy something that entertains me so much is worth it!
If you feel the same way about the Olympics, consider donating. Even a few bucks could help our team out.
