Olympics opening ceremony

[pilninggas]

Not much change since this "Toffs and Toughs" was taken at Harrow 75 years ago.

Looks like footy is the game for the 'Toughs' and the Olympics for the 'Toffs'.
Half of Great Britain's medals came from just 7% of the population who are privately educated.
In contrast, the balance of professional football is that around 7% of players come from the private sector, which is an absolute mirror image of society.

Ken, look at this way - the Wayne Rooneys and Rio Ferdinands of this world will earn 10,000x more than their rich-by-birth, privately educated medal winning rivals.

Personally I don't care, one of my mates teaches sailing - his parents were solid middle-class, but he teaches working and non-working class boys. They may well be the olympians of 2020, who knows.

Not really
But it's a fact that this country is full of lazy buggers that do nothing except sign on and watch trash tele like Jeremy Kyle for most of the day with no intention of ever even looking for a job. It would do them good to fill their days with something more purposeful [/quote]

Chairman of the British Olympic Association Lord Moynihan called for an urgent overhaul of school sport policy, saying private school dominance of sports was "wholly unacceptable".
