I don't disagree but anytime you get more than 3 people involved in anything it becomes political. And I've got no problem with them adding all kinds of sports. I don't have to watch it. Hulu had three full-time channels so if you didn't like the main channel, you had two others. But I will say I appreciated all of it and got a huge laugh out of the Brazilian break dancing (who clearly had no clue what she was doing and I could have done just as well).I enjoyed the Olympic games more when it was played by amateurs and I cheered for the U.S. to beat the Soviet Union.
I think the music at sporting events is great. I just don't like sporting events to promote political or socially controversial issues.
I don't like all of the sports they've added. 5 different cycling events, 3 on 3 basketball, break dancing, rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, and trampoline to name a few. They're adding 5 more for 2028 including flag football and cricket (which is only played in a couple of countries). We have 4 or 5 TV channels covering the Olympics but hardly get to see some major events because of the distraction caused by the minor events.
I don't really mind table tennis and badminton because a lot of people play those around the world. I was entertained by how fast guys went up the rock climbing wall but I can only watch something like that for so long. It should go.
I am reminded of the time I sat next to a very good singer. She called herself a "torch song" singer who just got gigs at bars during happy hour to sing. I said I didn't know how she did it as everyone was on their own agenda, talking, ordering, and not paying attention. She said it bugged her at first but she realized she was singing for herself. It was her art. Her expression. If others enjoyed it, that was great. If not, so be it. She'll do it in her basement. I think these athletes are the same way. For the most part, they have to lock out the noise and distractions. 99% of sports is the preparation. These sudden heroes who participate in the long jump and javelin are really complete unknown and prepare in almost complete obscurity. They'll get their 15 minutes and be forgotten.
