So, I find myself watching some "MLS Soccer" (isn't that 'soccer' twice?); New England at Colorado.
It's halftime, and I'll I'm hearing is some player on the NE Revolution bitching about the altitude.
Yes, most of Colorado is way up there... but c'mon people. When did pro athletes become such bitches? Man up, damnit.

Actually they sort of complain about that all the time. You really do have to prepare. They have more oxygen at the sidelines for games in Denver. For people in peak physical shape it does affect performance and is incredibly noticeable.
Complaining on TV is for women, though. |
