The Olympics are so notoriously crooked anymore that it has zero appeal to me. Just do it through the NHL, if all of these millionaires wanna represent their country so badly.
The Olympics money trail is nothing short of gangster. So regardless of athletes' lifelong dreams, the entire escapade has zero redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's a total money-laundering sham. I'd have high regard if Canada said, "nope. We're washing our hands of the Olympics in it's current mafia-like state and will no longer partake".
The rest of the nations would be saying, "Right. We get what you're saying"...You'd think nations that can build massive military complexes for war could figure out a sporting event tournament for fun in their downtime.
Has no one told the Olympic Committee that they represent everything wrong in the world? Billions spent, world-class athletes that are broke. The Olympics need to end. It's like they're beyond any law and flaunt that fact. They're above reproach.
