Its the Americans, not our Olympians, but out fans, journalists, spectators, if you will. I get it, Russia has not been the most hospitable place to land your head or quench you thirst this Olympics. But, lordy, quit complaining.
1. You are at the Olympics, I don't care that you are not going to hurl your way to a Gold medal in the bobsled, you travelled half way around the globe and get to see history! Take it in, quit tweeting, instagramming and #ing how awful it is. I would give anything to be there, to take in one millisecond of it.
2. This is a country people, where millions live. Everyday. Do something. Lobby, speak out, help them. But know how far this country has come. Yeah, they are not as blessed as we are here in the homeland, but why make fun of their lives? They lived for years under the iron curtain of intense communism for heaven's sake! Applaud their work on the magnificent arenas, gorgeous terrain and rich culture. Have we seen anything horrible happen? Has anyone been mean to you? I know Russia may not share the same ideals as we do here in America, but come on people, just stop complaining!
Rejoice! Celebrate! Cheer! Praise God you get to see something that few ever will.
