A New Olympic Event?
February 2, 2015
In the wake of the “American Sniper” film, competing claims as to the numbers of victims killed by Kyle are surfacing. A British sniper is alleged to have killed more than did Kyle, as have past Russian and Finnish entrants into the contest. In order to make Olympic events interesting – and to increase viewership and the price of the commercials that go along with it – will we soon hear of “Sniping” as an Olympic event? Who would be inclined to watch weight-lifting, sumo wrestling, or kayaking, when real snipers with high-powered rifles can shoot real victims, “live and in full color” during prime-time hours? I can just imagine the American super-patriots waving their American flags and cheering “USA, USA, USA!”
