It wasn't about the athletes even then. What annoys me about the
Olympics is not the commercialism but the whiff of idealism it still
tries to cloak itself in. In my opinion, anything that calls itself a
movement has more in common with what the medical establishment calls a
movement than anything else.

The entire games are a giant corporate stitch-up, so this sort of thing
comes as no surprise. I'd rather see a scaled-down games with less
corporate
sponsorship and 'hospitality' and something on a more human scale geared
towards ordinary people, even if it wasn't so spectacular.

Ain't never going to happen again in this lifetime. If you want to see
Olympics that's actually about the athletes, invent a time machine and
go back to ancient Greece.
