Edit: I keep coming back to this in my mind - thinking about this guy who will think this is a GREAT IDEA for two weeks. And then get home sans a finger.
Not even to mention the possible outcomes of the games. Anything could happen. Their team could be out in the first round (maybe because everyone didn’t have all their fingers at it hurt their play more than they expected!). There was also a fire on the trains earlier today in an arson attempt. I hate to think about it, but the Olympics have had bombs go off before, and what if the games are postponed for some reason. I really hope that doesn’t happen, but I’m just thinking about all these possibilities that could come up to make amputation even more dumb than it is right now.
I get that competitive spirit makes you do crazy things sometimes. But I will 100% predict - no matter what this guy says in the future - that when he’s 50, 60, 70…30 years + one month old he’s going to have the biggest regrets. It doesn’t even matter which finger - you use that finger more that you think. And there’s going to be something that is now worse. Shit, I’m typing this message and I’m using ALL my fingers. I can’t even imagine not having one.
