Is Lemmy excited for the Olympics?
Ill follow some of the track and field this time, I prefer watching the winter games. Curling has no right to be as intense as it appears on TV, its great.
I’m not particularly excited. Giant waste of money to appease a known corrupt organization, that negatively impacts locals (displacing them for temporary construction that is generally not built to last and falls apart within a couple years).
If they just designated a single spot to hold the Olympics every time (different spot for winter/summer) I wouldn’t have as much of a problem with it.
There are bigger priorities in the world, bread and circuses don’t hold much sway right now. I do feel for the athletes who train for it, but it is frankly not the apocalypse if they don’t know who is better at a given sport.
Eh. I’ll watch the gymnastics.
The floor show is always worth it.
