Wasn't the Olympics an "every 4-year thing where amateur athletes get together and compete against athletes from other countries"? I remember that.

Then the sports-ball people took over, and professionals were allowed to compete. (Sounds like trannies swimming against girls, doesn't it?)

And the professional sports-ball rap culture vultures started talking and who wants to hear more of that?

If the Olympics want to be more relevant, they need to attract more betting. And maybe have a playoff season that stretches longer than the regular season. At least the WNBA has something it can compete against for ratings.

Yeah, Olympics went corporate and lost most of the meaning. Money destroys lots of things.
