As a young kid, I used to love the Olympics...not I hate them...they are an epic bore. They are often tape-delayed...the coverage was once great, is now shit.
You know the results before they show the sport/event. The coverage jumps all over like it's schizo.
That said, I recognize the meaningfulness and the purpose of the Olympics. And, I would also argue the world should never have awarded the Olympics to a shithole like China.
A repressive regime, a smog-infested asshole, with a certifiable whack job as a "leader."
The USA should boycott the Olympics. Fuck the "athletes." If you've devoted your life to winning the freaking curling Olympic medal, you're a jackass (yes, I am aware this is the summer version, not the winter). It's a game...just have some fun. Isn't darts supposedly now a recognized event at this Olympics? Seriously? Please!
Sending a message to a deplorable regime who has begun to talk smack about privacy and the lack thereof as the Olympics approach (they're talking smack/tough because as this gets closer, they know the world cannot simply back out and move them) means more to the world than some ridiculous dart contest. Send the world a message. Ban all flights from America to China the month leading up to the Olympics, and throughout the Olympics. Ban any Americans from participating. Revoke any dual citizens who chose to use their other citizenship rights to gain access and compete. And ban any media coverage of the Olympics in the USA.
Make it as if they don't exist. Or, we could always lop off the head of Kim Jong-il...I'll allow choices.
