Should the Olympics do away with gold silver and bronze medals ..

And mimic American society by giving everyone participation medals?  Didn't that concept create the millennial generation?

Do away with the Silver and Bronze - only give medals to winners.

I'm pretty sure that everyone that competes in the Olympics probably does receive something for it. Like a tote bag with goodies and steroids or whatever. So, I guess they always have had that haven't they?

in Rio, I think the winner should receive a HazMat suit for the remainder of their stay, a years supply of antibiotics and police protection from our basketball team.

Let the rest suffer the consequences.

When did the Olympics start giving out metal?

Good idea. Did they give Germany or Japan silver or bronze medals for finishing second or third in WWII? Fuck no, they go nothing.

Yes they should. Nobody's feelings should ever be hurt. Unless they are a Republican presidential candidate. Screw those guys!

Technically, Germany should have gotten the gold for WWII since they finished it first, no?
