It's possible that the surviving athletes from 1984 are healthier than 20 year-olds in 2028.

In addition to the waste and corruption, the Olympic spectacle has become a joyless orgy of political vendettas, both ridiculously petty and fatuously grandiose. I feel sorry for the athletes, especially the women, who are expected to be sweet and submissive about the broken males posturing as women.

European Olympic contest seems to be the race to the bottom, no?

Creative accounting is one of the most important disciplines. Occasionally you’d hear the games turned a profit, but that’s simply because some spending occurred outside of the official budget.

I lost respect for the Olympics during the last games with that transgender BS. It’s always been a political statement forum going back to the black power symbols of 1968, probably longer. Having it in LA is a joke, pick a reason.

Could we get every country to boycott the next games? I know I do.

The expenditure of one man is the jackpot of a charlatan.

If it wasn’t for curling, I’d never watch another Olympics again. Ever

To squander wealth is indeed a first love.

Broken hearts come after.
