what is wrong with the French?

What is wrong with the French?
Recent day the Beijing Olympic torch relay was unsuccessful done because of some people who are against China prevent the torch relay.
What makes me surprise is that this event happened both in France and England!
Baron de Coubertin, the father of modern Olympic Games, is the French. I think the French will know more Olympic spirit than Chinese! What is the spirit of Olympics?
That is to unit the world to make the whole world a family by encouraging people all over the world to join in the Olympic big family! No matter what race, nation and religion belief people are!
So how can the French do this stupid thing to destroy the Olympic spirit and humiliate the father of Modern Olympic Games!
So I wonder what is wrong with the French.

Thinking of sports from doping

When speaking of doping in sports field, many people hold the idea: doping is immoral, unethical and unfair. Anyone who is found out that he or she has taken the performance-enhancing drug will be strongly criticized. However, is this real the athlete’s fault? I would like to say a few words.
I heard a sentence a coach, he said, the athletic sports are sports that badly ruin the health of athletes. The ideal of sports is to keep our health but the athletic sports do ruin the health of athletes by intensive and high pressure trainings! Athletes can be very hurt easily. And the pressure from coaches and the desire of winning force they to take drugs. Nowadays athletic sports are just about wining not the heath. So In order to win the reputation, they will choose the easy and soft way—that is taking drug!
So, should we blame athletes or blame these who twist the essence of sports?

should women join man’s team?

Should women be able to join men’s team? This is real a huge debate! Some think it is the human right of women to join men’s team. It is sexism to exclude women in men’s team. Women should get the equal chance to try out in men’s team.

Some hold the opposite opinion that women should not join men’s team.
First, the difference of the constitution between man and woman is huge. Generally speaking man is physically stronger than woman. Woman will be easily hurt when compete with man.
Second, it is unfair for man. Because no matter men win or lose, people will say, “come on how can you beat a woman? Or come on she just is a woman, how can you be beaten by a woman? ” Both saying will be a shame to man.

In my personal opinion, woman should just play in woman’s team. It’s not fair for both man and woman if woman join man’s team!
