    I feel bad for the Olympic organizers. Good luck luring tourists to the Olympics.

      Fuck em. The Olympics are now the ultimate corporate show because of American influence. Best to die anyway as they certainly aren’t a show of amateur sport any longer and haven’t been for decades. It’s a major cash grab for a few wealthy sponsors, advertisers and IOC committee members more than a place for “underrepresented” sport to have a competitive international arena.mot to mention at all the pro athletes who ruined the concept by attending.

      Love olympic athletes and the sport of it, loathe the perennial corruption in the IOC (olympic comittee).
