The 2016 Summer Olympics recently concluded and they did not disappoint.
While much was said and rightfully so about the health hazards and infrastructure issues, the city of Rio de Janeiro was a magnificent host. Congratulations for pulling off an event that some months ago seemed almost impossible.
If you believe in diversity like I do, the Olympic Games set a really high bar. Men and women of all colors and shades gave us their very best and performed with great athleticism and passion.
Just watching the Opening Ceremony reminded me that the color of a person’s skin doesn’t matter nearly as much as some of us think it does.
Thank you International Olympic Committee (IOC) for giving our minds, our eyes and our ears a brief respite from social justice issues.
Thank you IOC for not posting security guards at the bathroom doors to determine the sex of those who used them. This issue seems to be especially troubling to the state of North Carolina that is my home state.
The Olympic Games were designed to showcase superior prowess in a sport, and they gave us enough highlights to last us for a long time.
