The Olympics disgust me, not that I was a big fan before. Thomas Bach basically took the Nazi colonizer approach and said the games are happening "no matter what the Covid situation." He said this despite knowing that 80% of the Japanese people were against holding the games. The politicians fell in line. For them, they foolishly think an Olympics will help their elections. For Bach and his team, it's all about the money. Most of their profits comes from sponsors. No Olympics, no sponsor revenue. It is so bad that one of the largest sponsors, Toyota, pulled all of their commercials from the Olympics - even though they still have to pay for them. Because they know the event is that unpopular among the Japanese.
Nothing against the athletes, but the games themselves are just a racket for the wealthy. The absurd nationalism, the egos, the corruption, the silly protests, the politics, the debt of the hosting nation.... No thanks.
