The olympics may be commercialized but they also featured amazing sports like swimming, running, gymnastics, weight lifting--- these sports aren't normally featured on TV and for 2 weeks, we get treated to the best these sports have to offer.
And people like you just have to ruin it with your 2 cents.
The Olympics is disgustingly over commercialized, over sexualized, abusive to the communities it takes place in, a force contra free market and free speech and you hate me for my opinions? If a little entertainment is all it takes to get you to turn a blind eye then thats fine, but how can you hate me for not doing the same?
I do feel for many of the lesser-known/followed events, and competitors from developing nations.
But the whole notion of amateur athletics was binned a long, long time ago.
I last followed the games in the late 1980s. Since then it's been a long downward spiral so far as I'm concerned.
