In the old days, we complained about the Soviets and East Germans sending defacto professional athletes against our amateurs. Rather than fixing the problem by getting rid of the pros, we just joined them, making the event something different.
Exactly. 1980 was the last one I watched, and only partially due to the hockey team. After that...nope. Couldn’t care less.
Agreed. We've destroyed the Olympics by allowing the pros to play in it. It's supposed to be for amateurs.
