Most people would be aware that the modern Olympic Games
feature the convergence of nations with all political views aside to compete in
sporting events with its origins from Greece.
At the opening ceremony in London, it was mentioned that the
games are ‘back where they belong’. What is that supposed to mean? Does this
mean it (England/London) is where they originated,
and is about time they returned?
Does the old age saying of “He who has power, writes history”
hold true in this case? Surely not!
Also Australian commentators could not resist having a jab
at the Greeks for the state of the economy, implying that it was the fault of
the Greeks.
If these comments were directed at maybe another nation or
religion, then there would be a global outcry, suggesting racial intolerance which
must be brought before the world courts.
