It's one thing to not want to give them dollars - it's much harder to not give them any attention that helps them generate revenue. Simply by watching or engaging with them in any way is enabling them to exist.
And if you think the IOC is corrupt, then I hope you aren't going to pay a lick of attention to the World Cup 2026 in Canada with FIFA headlining that event.

So you are willing to tolerate corruption then? In exchange for watching a sport?
Morally I can’t get past that. I know I don’t speak for many there, so I guess it’s just a difference of opinion.
I don’t watch soccer, so “no”, but if it was the KHL or some similar shucksters who harm people putting on a tourney, no I wouldn’t watch that either.
I’m glad the end result is a thumb in the IOC’s eye, even if their conduct wasn’t a primary reason the “no” side won.
I also agree that it sucks some people are taking delight in others who are down because the no side won. Total lack of class there.
