As a kid, the Olympics was a fun thing to look forward to. Now whenever I see my city/country applying for anything similar, I'm up in arms
It used to be something good back in ancient Greece, before we had the need to make a supershow out of fucking everything and each time trying to one up the last in pyrotechnics and gimmicks
Wasn't ancient Olympics a supershow of their time?
Sure, but supershows tended to be less wasteful back when there wasn't so much to waste I guess
It might have been badly worded by me. I know that the Olympics were bad when I was young. I was just naive
Even as a kid i didn't really get it. I liked to watch the best off they showed on tv or when someone broke a world record or something. I thought that's what the Olympics are. Then one day my friend asked me if i wanted to watch the winter Olympics and i was excited. Just to sit there for hours just watching the most boring thing i have ever seen. And that was before i even knew about the steroid hypocrisy and uow scummy it is
I think London 2012 may have been the only Olympics in my lifetime that wasnt some kind of humanitarian travesty.
