is the 200 meter butterfly really not much different from an empty pool?

Among the many ridiculous Chuck Klosterman quotes I remember (for whatever reason, honestly, I have no idea why I remember these useless remarks) came from an appearance on Bill Simmons's podcast. Taped during a recent Olympics, Chuck remarked on the show that he didn't like swimming events because watching a race in a pool was not much different from just looking at an empty pool.

MayFair, a Harvard Square festival, held its 34th annual event on the first Sunday of May. As I watched people bump into standing objects, search for the perfect overpriced food item, or stop to examine some useless trinket, I realized something: the streets might have been blocked off but it was still basically like any other weekend afternoon stroll through Harvard Square.
