3. Don't mind me, I'm just an Olympics Grinch/Scrooge (but without the redemption arc)

IMO the IOC/IPC are irredeemably corrupt and politicized and betray their supposed ideals/purpose at every turn, and the event coverage available in the US via NBC is nauseating and unwatchable.

If other people like watching it, I don't begrudge their interest or enjoyment, but if someone on DU were to create a magical Olympics thread that successfully drew all would-be Olympics posts into it like a black hole... I wouldn't complain.
