Odd how an event that is intended to be about amateurs has turned into this orgy of awful spectacle and wasteful vomiting of the worst lowest common denominator jingoism, all paid for by the victim-citizen.
As for athletes- elevating them to some special status for anything other than their specific "sport" is hilariously inappropriate. Not many of them can even string two words together. And as for the sports themselves- tae kwon do is a "sport" because the crime boss IOC member from Korea bribed it into being one, meanwhile karate do and kung fu- both vastly more popular, and superior in self defence terms... Are not "sports" at the olympics.
Not only is the olympics a steaming chud of decadence, not only is it classical bread and circuses, it has now finally achieved the "aim" of lauding useless skills and activities, and deterring people from physical fitness with its false concept of elitism in athleticism.
There are stronger men on most building sites, faster runners in most large cities' ghettoes, more agile athletes in most martial arts dojo and parqueur clubs and more intense competitors in virtually every large army on Earth.
It's just that normal people won't go through the cycle of child molestation, warped parents bullying them and drug use to become "elite" olympic performing monkeys.
