Politics are as old as the Olympic "games". Anyone hear of Berlin 1936? Moscow and Lake Placid 1980? Munich '72?
The opening and closing ceremonies are always sickeningly "gushy". Want Olympic controversy? Turn the clock back to the 60's, 70's and 80's when the Communist Block countries sent their "amateurs". How about the East German women's swim team that had more testosterone than a 21 year old man. Face it, at this level, sport is tainted.
The Olympics are what they are. Want to watch real sports.....wait for the Little League World Series.
I'll watch the Olympics and will be politically incorrect too. I'll hope for the USA to win every medal....I'll root for my home team and won't be embarassed to.
