Wednesday’s Olympic Torch relay in San Francisco was more about protest groups rallying for their cause than it was about the Olympic games.

Whether it was Pro-Tibet, Pro-China, activists against involvement in Darfur, activists for animal rights, or even for bringing back nudity in the Olympic games, everybody had an opinion.

Although thousands of people showed up on the Embarcadero Monday for the event, there was only one I met who was there just to watch the torch relay.

Still, after a few hours of seeing nothing, even he started yelling like some of the protesters.

His cause? He was fed up with all the protesters who ruined his chance to see the historic Olympic torch.

“We the citizens have the right to see the torch in the United States,” he said. “This is all nonsense.”

And, with the blaring sun in his eyes and nothing to be seen but protesters for a mile in each direction, it wasn’t long before he too started getting nasty: “The people of Tibet got more balls than those people do and that’s the truth!”
