Just having the honor of being in the Olympics seems to me that they aren’t all that oppressed. And some will make a bundle from sponsors.
They usually end up bankrupting the host country and leaving behind an impressive set of ruins. It is a gargantuan waste of capital.
There’s already enough corruption, of both the financial and political kind, in the Olympics.
One suggestion would be for them to pony up and start their own games. That way, people who want sports with politics and social justice can have it all. I wonder how viable a business model that’d be.
