"Inside the Rings - Questions of Safety in High-Risk Sport" - NYTimes.com

Why have we allowed - perhaps encouraged - the Olympics to become a kind of race car event with people more fascinated by who crashes or gets injures than by who wins and how they win? It seems to me that the high risk "sports" deserve a place on reality television or a NASCAR network if there is one, and not one at the Olympics.

This column does an especially good job of making the point.
