In order to get a true representation of each country’s athletic skill, the Olympics should randomly select citizens to compete like it’s jury duty:
Who’s next on the balance beam for the US? Is it Simone Biles? Nope it’s 39yo electrician, Dale. Wow he does not look confident
I don’t understand jury duty and have a sneaking suspicion it’s a deeply flawed system. I’ve never been called to do it and have been on the voter registry for decades. I have family members who have gotten it several times and at least one who was on a grand jury. They are not the last people I would think were capable of making informed, reasoned, unbiased judgments on whether someone committed a crime or was liable for a civil issue, but they’re definitely low on my list.
That’s the point. They intentionally avoid people with higher education for a reason.
