I use to love watching the olympics. Waited four years back in the day, but in good conscience can not watch them this year. Not sure how you do an exorcism on an entire event, but they need one.
Me too back in the day when it was our true amateurs versus the state-supported full-time athletes from the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact countries. But with the demise of the Soviet Union and the open professionalization The Olympics are just not the same. Not to mention the corruption - $ - of the IOC being exposed. Is it’s just a TV production that falls very flat.
I think back to Frank Shorter winning the marathon, Dick Fosbury, Edwin Moses, Dave Wottle. Heck back to Rafer Johnson and even Bob Matthias. The Olympics just don’t have that cachet anymore. But hey, 2028 In LA.
I couldn’t agree more.
The majority of the people of France must be disgusted to see their country represented that way.
