Mitt. . . dude. . . your wife is in the Olympics. Your wife was in charge of raising and training a horse, and finding a rider, and managing training, and so forth -- it's her team. She is the manager and owner of a team that is in the freakin' Olympics.
Humans do things like "watch their spouse's team in the Olympics". She's not going to be physically on the field, of course, any more than Tony Francona got up to bat in the 2004 World Series. But do you think Francona's family went, "Meh, whatever, AMERICAN IDOL is on"?
Yeah, I get it. You're afraid that people will think that you're an upper-class rich twit because your wife trained a dressage horse. Me, I might have pointed out how many middle-class people do dressage -- between LiveJournal and Facebook, I can point to, like, four friends who do various forms of equestrian eventing, and none of them are rich. I mean, they have to really budget really carefully to afford it, but they can DO it.
You have GOT to get your human behavior emulation module upgraded. This is just embarrassing.
One thing Romney won’t be doing, evidently, is watching Rafalca, a fifteen-year-old brown mare that his wife co-owns, competing in the dressage competition, which starts next week. "I have to tell you, this is Ann’s sport," he told Brian Williams. "I’m not even sure which day the sport goes on…. She will get the chance to see it. I will not be watching the event."
