Man, the Olympics are terrible. Remind me why we have them again? They're a ludicrously elitist, classist institution that literally fucks over entire cities and countries in the name of sport. Sport's fun. Watching sport is fun. A sporting event is not worth rich people only lanes, brand exclusion zones, a massive…
