    Default The 2018 Winter Olympic Games

    What parts are you going to watch?

    I used to love watching the Opening Ceremonies, but this year not so much. Between the propaganda from NBC and Comcast, and their paid advertisers, and the tensions b/w North and South Korea, and our weird "diplomacy"....it's spoiled what used to be enjoyable winter entertainment.

    Truth be told, I'm doubting that sports can deliver its promised "unifying" goal on the international level, which is what the Olympics is supposed to be about, right? Doping, sexual abuse, corrupt judges, national/international politics, paid sponsors, etc. ruined the concept of elite athleticism. Makes me sad, and not really entertained, because watching makes me complicit in everything that's wrong about it. Damn!
