Blogger blasts IOC over planned Youth Olympic Games
Alan Abrahamson tore the IOC a new one a couple days ago over the interesting but unexamined plan for a Youth Olympic Games for ages 14-18. In his NBC Sports blog, Alan laid waste to every justification for this Jacques Rogge-pushed boondoggle. Alan writes: “If the Olympic Games themselves aren’t a spark (to get people off their butts), how precisely are Youth Olympic Games supposed to do the job?” Well, maybe a Masters Olympic Games could do the trick. But now I’m doubting that the IOC could do justice to the adult athletics movement — if the YOG is any indication.
