I used to love them when I was a kid (in the 60's) and even as an adult (in the 90's). But now that the greed and grift has been exposed on an international level, not so much.

I feel sorry for the athletes who've spent years training and competing, thinking the Olympics was the epitome of their sport.

There's got to be a better way to celebrate international athletic prowess, without all the Olympic political posturing (and wasted funding on venues that *abuse workers or citizens*, and eventually decay). Right?
