Chinese Gymnasts Controversey

I can't help but laugh at this whole controversy about members of the Chinese Gymnastics team obviously being under 16.  Personally, I'd be very surprised if they were a day over 12.  But so what?

In fact, I'll take it one step further.  If being an adult means you are two old to participate in an Olympic "sport" should it really be in the Olympics?  It's a freaking children's game.  I mean, if you're telling me that, given no rules, the best in the world at some "sport" are roughly between 12-15, and that 16-17 year olds are at some unfair disadvantage and over the hill, is this really an Olympic caliber event? 

Please.  R. Kelly thinks this is ridiculous.

What's next, Jacks?  Jump Rope?  Red Rover?

Your Honor, I rest my case.  The Olympics have jumped the shark.
