No matter what the NHL/NBA/MLB or any other major Western sports organization does regarding the olympics, I highly advocate ignoring them, totally.

I agree with all those negatives and that’s really only a partial list. They’re horrible.
Truth is, I still love the Olympics though! Maybe I’m a sucker for some of that nationalism, or I just love the pure drama of it all. The athletic performances (drug tainted or otherwise), draw me in every time. It’s fantastic.
