The Olympics are dead. There are other things on TV thanks to cable, dish and streaming. Countries are no longer bidding for the games like they used to. So the IOC will have to cool it with their demands and be more accepting of facilities.

Yes, the Olympics have gotten so boring over the years. The TV coverage is awful. They spend more time on sob stories than they do showing the events. Politics has taken over starting when Carter had the US boycott the Olympics. They should just hold them in Greece every time and have all the countries chip in to pay for it. When I was a kid (a long time ago) it was all about the US vs the Soviet Union, but that is so last century just like James Bond movies. It’s all a big yawner now.
