No, more like Sochi '14.

A few of us that write for a hockey blog applied for press credentials to Sochi, mostly because hey, free tickets.

I don't see it going anywhere, but who cares.

Wait so you're letting something that happened 10 years ago ruin your quality of life? What are you, America? :psyduck:

I should also acknowledge that there are sports which have a lot of dangerous contact, but where the contact is not of the essence - i.e. does not contribute to the win, but may even lead rather to a penalty if not controlled appropriately - games like Rugby football or American football, for instance.  These I dislike for that element but do not condemn.

You're completely wrong, boxing and similar sports is the pinnacle of civilization. *knocks you out with a swift uppercut*

I imagine that's really what Pokemon would do when they hurt themselves in confusion.

Loving the C4 posters for the Paralympics, just a big legend "Thanks for the warm up".
