The Olympics Can Be Awesome, But...

in #olympics8 years ago

I do sincerely admire the athletic striving for excellence that is emblematic of the Olympics! And as much as it is a celebration of different cultures the Olympics are often magnificent :-)

But I would love the Olympics much more deeply and truly if it were not also the most bald and garish promotion of patriotic fervor for each respective nation-state.

Nothing about residing within the geographic boundaries that are taxed-and-controlled by a particular gang of parasites is laudable.
