Isn’t Rio an object lesson on where the USA could head?
The Olympics brought it into recent highlight; that doesn’t mean the Olympics are the only reason it deserves to be looked at.
We are right to be suspicious of the motives of those who do not want to learn from ALL the lessons of history.
What this country should be doing is looking intensely into the International Olympic Committee - their costs, their continuing expenses, their members’ finances and a whole plethora of bribery, corruption, graft and greed of excess and elitism, frankly.
The Olympics have become nothing more than an overhyped, corrupted quadrennial Super Bowl in my opinion.
