Remember the good old days in the 60’s when ABC and Jim McKay used to send short feeds after the late night news? And the procession was just so simple. Teams with flags, no fags in drag.
I think the real turning point for me was when they decided to split the Summer Games and Winter Games into different years. I guess I was pretty young, but it just seems like after that, nothing about the Olympics was as exciting. Maybe that was the same time it went “corporate”.
