(84,711 posts)I still think that we should still try to look at the athletes and just take a break from the Partisan/Political and enjoy it as spectacle.
I don't hear any folks railing much against the Professional Sports like NFL who are pretty much corrupt with the money and even the College Sports with Pedophile Coaches and Corruption in all other ways...with the Colleges raking in money for Sports while so many of the athletes are also corrupted in so many ways (and many just used and abused).
So it's hypocritical to go on about the Big Money in Olympics when the Corruption and Big Money is here and everywhere in Sports and we all just LOVE OUR SPORTS (Gladiator Games)...don't we.
But...Olympics doesn't come round as much...so, every country that Hosts has political and corruption problems...but, to single out one country over the other and to make a big deal about how Olympics is corrupted...is just railing against what many of us hope would change and be better....but, it's a Break and Diversified Sports...so for that...we should just make the best of viewing and work on the whole Sports Industry for Change...rather than trashing an individual "years apart" Event...Like the Olympics for politics and corrupt practices.
