Bodie Miller is just ridiculous. Yesterday he bashed fans of skiing by saying the mess up the sport by taking the fun out of it. He also blamed fans for steroid use of athletes. Now it seems he is saying he might give up in tomorrow's race.
I know some people might say that I am just writing this stuff because Bodie Miller is not winning at the Olympics. That is not true. Even if he were winning while acting like this it would make me angry. It seems to me that since Bodie Miller arrived in Tourino he has been complaining about the media and the fans. As I mentioned above he bashed fans and the media. He claimed he wished for the days when he could go to the Olympics and get drunk with his friends and go to all the sporting events without the media following him everywhere and questioning him. This makes me angry for two reason. One if you do not want to media to follow you everywhere do not jump in front of cameras and microphones every chance you get. I do not think anyone forced Miller to have his picture on the cover of Time and Newsweek, or perform an interview with 60 Minutes. Second, if you do not want to compete in the Olympics then do not go to them. He could have easily told the USOC that he did not want to participate in the Olympics and that he would rather stay home and get drunk with his friends or that he wanted go to Italy only to get drunk with friends and watch the other Olympic events. If Miller had done this I am quite sure some other kid would have been happy to step up and go to the Olympics to compete.
