Now here's the deal. Are the Olympics worth having anymore? I can't remember the last time I saw them on TV. This is supposed to be an event showing the world the status of your countries athletic prowess. But now it seems like it has become and over runned by advertising and sponsorships. And as we all know protest in one form or an another. So what's the point? Why go through all the trouble of spending millions of dollars on training, advertising, and transportation only to have your, or one of the other countries, protest the politics of the day. If the countries leaders decide to boycott well then all of the money, time, and not to mention shattered dreams all go to waste. Do we participate in order to save face? Or to allow the athletes to shine? Maybe we should consider this before we interupped our favorite programming with this centuries old tradition.
