One of a series of sports-related Goofy shorts

This was part of a series of shorts, some very good and others, like this one (yawn) not as effective. While it's an interesting idea, there isn't a great deal of energy to this one (yawn) and it just sort of sleepwalks along (yawn) to the end. If I keep writing this much longer, I'll fall asleep at the keyboard, so you'll have to excuse me. It is worth watching for the animation, though.

Some folks try to see the "good" in everything . . .

. . . though such an exercise is extremely taxing with things like the Rump-Scents Administration's POTUS, or THE OLYMPIC CHAMP. The number of people seeing a Silver Lining in the former bloated bozo of a storm cloud (as in, "At least he's showing us how NOT to be President") is growing smaller by the day now. Similarly, the faction excusing the animated offerings of the notoriously lazy bunch churning out eyesores such as THE OLYMPIC CHAMP by saying, "We'd probably never realize how GREAT the Looney Tunes are were it not for these rodent droppings!" is down to a slim few as well. THE OLYMPIC CHAMP is populated by a sole boring "Goofy" figure, coupled with a droning narrator. By way of contrast, despite the fact that "Bugs Bunny" has more humor in his little finger than Goofy harbors within his entire lanky frame, Warner Bros. usually provides Bugs with at least two or three top-notch co-stars, including Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and Yosemite Sam (each of them funnier in turn than anything spewing out of the over-rated Mouse House). It's no wonder that the latter cartoon cartel has bribed the U.S. Congress to pervert America's copyright laws: In the Free Society of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt, "Steamboat Willy" would have been permanently eradicated by Free-Thinking Exterminators through their ample supply of rat poison 75 years ago!
