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.
That's why Americans have started losing interest (even before the CCP fiasco). It should be like this. Cover a hockey game here and there. Speed skating races. Figure skating (apparently they're popular). But NBC is so leftist that they are out of touch with the viewing habits of an average American.
