In today's society do we really even care about the Olympics anymore? Back in the day the Olympics were the competition grounds for the worlds greatest athletes. From its beginning, as a competition for the citizens of ancient Greece and other surrounding countries, the Olympics developed into a worldwide, commercially oriented event. Though nowadays I tend to belive that the Olympics are a shell of its former self.
Look at the Olympics today, here in the states we have to almost beg players to join the Olympic especially in the team sports. Then we are having doping scandals and what not and these scandals are world wide, which I feel devalues the Olympics. You have the whole Tibet thing going with China now in the summer Olympics this year and talk of posting and boycotting opening ceremonies just furthers devalues the Olympics I feel.
There is so much going in the political realm of the Olympics that interfere with the Olympics and not to mention all the corporate sponsors that get their hand son the Olympics that turns the Olympics into a huge marketing ad rather then a sporting event of the words best. Then you add the fact that in many countries people only are their own sporting events that they could not given a damn about a world wide events that must don't even care about. I mean is Track and field that popular or swimming? No the world cares about futbol/soccer, basketball, and other sports.
I used to like the Olympics, but not anymore so I have to sell them especially the summer games this year.
SO do you buy or sell: The Olympics?
